Savola Group Company (KSA), CMP: SAR25.7, Target Price: SAR34.0 SAVOLA Group is expected to operate more than 150 retail outlets by the end of 2013. We believe the expansion in retail will remain key factor to bring more synergies in operations where the company is able to easily market its other food products. Global Research believes that the company could utilize the customers’ brand loyalty of brands like Herfy, Almarai, Afia to support its overall business growth: where PAT is expected to increase 2010-14CAGR of 7.3%.

Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (UAE), CMP: AED3.05, Target Price: AED3.91 ADCB tops our favorite list given that it is expected to overcome its asset quality issues which were dragging its price down. Albeit we still see high provisions we believe that the bank will see major relief from previous levels. Despite a recent run up in prices and doubling of price over the last 52 weeks, the stock still offers the lowest trading multiples although a significant improvement in operating ratios is anticipated.

Top Technical Picks National Bank of Abu Dhabi: (UAE), CMP: AED11.20 The overall outlook of the stock remains positive and the recent stalling action does not indicate an end to the bullish momentum. On the bullish side, a cross over June’s high at AED11.90 will validate a higher-high and higher-low pattern, aiming for the target price at AED12.80 (76.4% level of the Fibonacci Retracements from AED15.29 – AED4.77) before AED14.00.

Yanbu Cement Company: (KSA), CMP: SAR58.25 The stock eased down after recording new high for this phase at SAR60.25. However, the price may continue to witness further weaknesses on the coming period due to the overbought status of the weekly “RSI” indicator but overall outlook remains positive. Knowing that a breaking above SAR60.25 would call for additional correction upwards, targeting SAR67.20 (50% level of the Fibonacci Retracements from SAR100.25 – SAR34.18) and SAR75.00 (61.8% level).

GCC Equity Monitor

Technical Overview QE Index settled at 8,402.86 point. The index is still getting help from its rise above the support zone between 8,300 point – 8,250 point and the failure seen on the last two sessions to go below there could be an indication of a short-term buying intent. Meanwhile, the bulls are encountering a resistance line at 8,520 point, knowing that a successful close above there would call for limited downward move and additional strength, aiming for 8,600 point before April’s high at 8,843 point. However, only below the aforementioned support area will trigger 8,100 point. Weekly and daily “RSI” indicators are mixed as they show neutral and bullish signals, respectively. Strategy: Medium-term investors can only re-enter the market when the index sustains a close above 8,420 point, while long-term (50 weeks) investors can hold while the index is trading above 8,220 point.

Definitions: * A trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of prices. When the MACD is above zero, the short-term average is above the long-term average, which signals upward momentum. The opposite is true. ** A technical momentum indicator that compares the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses in an attempt to determine overbought and oversold conditions of an asset. An asset is deemed to be overbought once the RSI approaches the 70 level, meaning that it may be getting overvalued and is a good candidate for a pullback. Likewise, if the RSI approaches 30, it is an indication that the asset may be getting oversold and therefore likely to become undervalued. × Moving average. Which is an arithmetic way and a tool used purpose of easing the price fluctuations to clarify the trend and differentiate between primary or secondary trend of prices and the normal fluctuations. ^ The price level which, historically, a stock has had difficulty falling below. It is thought of as the level at which a lot of buyers tend to enter the stock. ^^ The price at which a stock or market can trade, but can not exceed, for a certain period of time. The stock or market stops rising because sellers start to outnumber buyers. Disclaimer: This Technical Analysis is not an invitation to buy or sell, as it is “Global’s” opinion and speculation of future movement of the stock. Also it is not considered a sufficient material to relay on when taking financial and investment decisions. Investors should study the financial statement before taking any investment decision.
