I think 338 is the buy zone. BREE is a great stock anyway, so long term buys here should do well, but at current levels, I think you will be getting the lows. I expect several funds are having to sell this, due to being AIM only funds. It was noted, in IC mag, that there will be similar buying from FTSE weighted funds as well. I would hope to grab some at this level, but tricky freeing up funds in this market.
Besides, there are other potential short-term drivers for Breedon’s share price; in particular, a reversal of recent share sales driven by technical factors. Analysts at investment bank UBS estimate that around 5-6 per cent of those who held Breedon shares on Aim would have been forced to sell after the stock left the junior market. Breedon's shares were then consolidated at the ratio of one new for five old shares, but the new Breedon shares will only be eligible for inclusion in the FTSE 250 index in September. This provides “an attractive entry point” before passive funds that track the index are allowed to buy Breedon shares. Once they do, UBS analysts expect passive buying of 5-6 per cent, “with active flows (ie, buying) incremental to this”.
