RE: Sold up, will wait for the next dip31 Jan 2022 13:41
I'm hoping that Phat will be mistaken and that 515 will prove to be the bottom: just click on the chart to save reading my wordy explanation.
Has CWR performed as well as expected as a business over the last two years and within guidance? If it has then clearly it is not a dud, as the fall in sp would suggest. However, the sp may well have overvalued the company during 2021, so are we now at or below reasonable value? The fall in sp during January echoes the fall in the CELS but is disproportionately greater: so whilst shorting activity might have exaggerated the fall it cannot be entirely blamed for it.
This chart goes back to early 2020 when the sp was tested twice: on the 17th March, when the market collapsed due to covid, and on 20th May, when IP Group sold 11million shares. https://invst.ly/x9hxt I’m taking these as two reference low points.
The solid blue and red trend lines here are set on those respective ‘lows’. The green trace is the NASDAQ CELS index rebased for comparison and the green dashed lines show the top levels for CWR that could have been expected if it performed in line with the CELS index over the entire period. If CWR had matched CELS over the period then we can see it should be around 650 today, so it is currently underperforming the index, which is unusual for the chosen period.
