UL Daily Technical Chart (Source: REFINITIV)
Stock Recommendation:
UL's share price has surged 3.01% in the past month and is currently leaning towards the lower-band of the 52-week range of USD 50.60 to USD 61.81. The stock is currently trading between its 50 and 200 DMA levels, and its RSI Index is at 60.16. We have valued the stock using the Price/Earnings-based relative valuation methodology and arrived at a target price of USD 46.42.
Considering the company's acquisition prospects, a decline in outlook, deterioration in the bottom line, current valuation, and technical indicators, we believe the decent business fundamentals are adequately reflected at current trading levels. Hence, we recommend a "Sell" rating on the stock at the closing price of USD 54.29, up 1.14%, as of January 14, 2022.
