In the past few sessions, Dorman's shares sharply fell, but the stock is now coming back to a significant support level.
The car parts maker relies on strong fundamentals. In fact, its global sales rose 14% between 2012 and 2013 and the major mover of this significant improvement was the international business unit. Better margins are anticipated for the current fiscal year and with better sales figures this could result in a significant enhancement in terms of earnings. The consensus remains buyer among analysts as EPS upward revisions attest.
The security subscribes in a downward trend in the short term. In the mid-term, graphics show an accumulation phase within the rising wedge. The stock is trading within a range between USD 52.2 and USD 55.35 and recent drops drove it toward the crossing point between the bottom trendline and the short term support. This contact could lead to a rebound toward the resistance.
Therefore, the timing seems perfect for opening long positions on Dorman seeking to reach the USD 55.3 resistance. Nevertheless, the position must be protected by a stop under USD 52.2, avoiding these way bearish trades.
