The USD 79.9 resistance is in line of sight.
From a fundamental viewpoint, the company is strong. The Thomson Reuters consensus revised regularly upward EPS estimates of the company for the current year. The great business predictability emphasize the quality of this investment in the mid-term.
Technically, the security shows a bullish configuration on all time scales. Prices are supported by increasing moving averages. In daily data, the 20-day moving average helps the stock to keep its uptrend.
Thanks to these good indicators, it seems relevant to take a long position in J&J Snack Foods at the current price. The target price is the USD 79.9 resistance. A stop loss will be fixed under the USD 71 short term because a breakdown of this level would damage technical pattern.
