J&J Snack Foods is still well oriented and is going to new highs.
From a fundamental viewpoint, the group is in a good financial situation. Sales have increased by 6.1% on the current year, with a net margin of 6.5%. Analysts widely revised upward in recent times their earnings per share estimates, which is a reliable indicator reflecting the company is healthy.
Technically, the share has a bullish configuration on all time scales. Prices are supported by increasing moving averages as shown by the 20-period, in weekly data, and enclose the stock in a dynamic upward trend. The consolidation phase is a good point for the share to define new historical high after the crossing of the USD 76.9 resistance.
Given these elements, most active investors could take after the crossing of the USD 76.9 resistance for a new bullish signal. A stop loss is placed below the USD 75, threshold that would invalidate the bullish strategy.
