- 1 SBRY stock price: The shares are experiencing a surge in price as the 30-year sideways trend comes to an end
- 2 The firm is growing its earnings despite a significant dividend payout ratio
- 3 The stock price is currently at its support with some interesting price acton taking place
The UK-based company J Sainsbury plc’s (LON: SBRY) shares have increased by more than 60% since October of last year. It is a significant growth for a stock that has been in a consolidation zone for the past 30 years now. The shareholders have enjoyed a 35% rise in the share fee over the past 3 years, considerably better than the market go-back of 6.4% within the same length.
What could be the reason for this sudden growth?
During the end of 2022, the SBRY stock was undervalued when we compared its price-to-earnings ratio of 8.1 to its competitors’ P.E. of 14.5. Moreover, the company offers a dividend yield of 4.75% on its share price compared to the FTSE 100’s average of 3.5%.
In addition, the company’s dividend payout ratio is 54% on average, which is significantly higher if the company is focused on sales growth. However, Sansbury has turned the tables around by accomplishing high earnings growth.
One of the major things to note is that the net profit of the firm has grown by 24% as an absolute return from the past 5 years, when compared to the industry average of 16%. However, the return on equity (ROE) is towards the lower side, when compared to the industry average of 9.5%.
Technical analysis and price prediction of the SBRY stock
As of this writing, the SBRY stock price is trading at the level of £254. The bears reclaimed the resistance level of £279 back on the 18th of September. It was the stock’s last high. At present time, the SRBY stock is just above its immediate resistance of £247.
The RSI has just rebounded from the oversold zone of 30 and is presently at 38. This rebound resulted from some bounce-off that bulls have shown at the present support level. As the stock is flowing in the downtrend, the bulls will have to reclaim this support for the trend reversal. It is predicted that a new high can be made, reversing the bearish trend. However, if the bears take over, the 2nd support will be £227.
Conclusion
The J Sainsbury PLC (LON: SBRY) stock has recently broken a 30-year consolidation trend. As the company was undervalued last year, investors took advantage of the low P.E ratio, and the stock rose more than 30% from the previous year. At present the SRBY stock price is near its immediate resistance, following its trend line. However, the bulls are showing signs of reclaiming this support.
Technical Levels
Support: £247, and £227
