General Electric just came off its worst losing streak of the year, and the charts are sending a clear signal to one technician.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> Its shares tumbled more than 5 percent on Monday, its fourth session in the red and its longest stretch of losses since December."The technicals are saying to sell it," Wald said on CNBC's"Trading Nation" on Monday."This is a stock we've been bearish on for a while and we're still bearish on and recommend selling.
JPMorgan's Stephen Tusa is also bearish. His downgrade to sell set off GE's plunge on Monday, its deepest drop since early December. Tusa also cut his price target to $5 from $6."What's notable about [Monday's] weakness is that it's occurring below the bearish slope of the stock's 200-day moving average," said Wald."What this is showing is that the near-term is lining up with the long-term weakness.
Monday's sell-off aside, GE has outperformed the market this year. It has roared 47 percent higher off its Dec. 11 bottom and roughly doubled the gains seen across the broader market. "This recent bounce really is what happens when you get a stock that goes down 67 percent and is trading nearly at option value," said Gina Sanchez, CEO of Chantico Global, on"Trading Nation" on Monday.Sanchez adds that GE's turnaround plans will take years to bear fruit, a timeframe that could test investors' patience. GE CEO Larry Culp has targeted 2020 and 2021 as years when the company's performance will show marked improvement.
"That's a long time from now and between now and then we're probably going to have an economic slowdown," said Sanchez."It's not a good environment to be pulling off a turnaround and I think that is really what's going to keep this stock from bouncing much higher than its option value bounce."
