Mohawk Industries could regain its upward trend after having run out of steam.
The fundamentals support the stock with a gradual upward revision of earnings per share by analysts. Moreover, sales are expected to increase considerably by 2015, which reflects a great business predictability and visibility of the company by analysts.
Mohawk Industries is in bullish trend in the medium and long term. In weekly data, moving averages are well-oriented. The 50-day moving average and the bullish trend line should protect the stock from a further decline. Thus, this level represents a good opportunity for a long position.
The decline observed in the short term offers an interesting entry point for a short-term investment. Investors will take advantage of the current area to buy Mohawk Industries. The objectives will be set at USD 130 and by extension USD 135. The stop loss will be triggered below the 100-day moving average.
