It has low valuation levels, with a P/E ratio of 8.9x for 2015 and 7.9x for 2016. Also, EPS are expected to rise from 156 pence to 191. Indeed, many investment banks renewed positively their opinion on the stock, as UBS that raised its target price to GBp 1910, while the analysts’ consensus is estimated at GBp 1890.
Technically, the stocks are in a bullish trend on all time scales. Prices are supported by up-oriented moving averages and evolve within upward trend lines. Thus, this positive movement is likely to persevere in both medium and long term toward the GBp 1826 level (weekly data), in order to reach a new highest price.
Investors can benefit from the security promising attributes, taking a long position on the current price and targeting the GBp 1826 level. However, it would be wise to place a stop under the GBp 1647 to prevent potential losses.
