Masco could break through the upper trend line.

The company shows strong fundamentals. Sales are expected to rise by more than 8% in the current fiscal year for total income increase of almost 60%. Furthermore, the stock has been upward revised in terms of EPS +20%, this made by analysts polled by Thomson-Reuters for the last 12 months. The consensus remains buyer overall.

Technical patterns are encouraging. The stock has been trading in the USD 20.5/23.5 area since the end of 2013 forming this way a rising wedge. Nowadays, the stock is ready for breaking out through the upper trend line and hence triggers a rally toward the target at USD 25.4.

According to both technical and fundamental analysis, the timing seems suitable for long position taking if the USD 23.7 threshold is broke. The bullish trend should allow the security to reach the USD 25.4 resistance. A stop loss will be placed under the entry point at USD 22.8.
