CNH, based in Amsterdam, is one of the world's largest makers of agricultural and construction equipment. Annual revenues: $12.6 billion. CNH Global stands for Case New Holland. Today, the stock breaks out powerfully from an 8-week flat base and hits a new high. Volume so far today is running at 1.9 million shares, about five times its normal daily volume of 409,000 shares.
The trigger for the stock's move today was a report of strong net for the first quarter. CNH came in with a profit of 40 cents a share, up from 16 cents a year ago.
That topped the consensus Street estimate of 35 cents a share. The highest estimate on the Street was a 41 cents a share. Revenues rose to $3.5 billion from $3.2 billion a year ago.
TTD featured CNH as a a stock to accumulate in anticipation of a breakout in our April 18th TTD pro report. The stock was also covered in today's web show.
The stock has been showing good tape action. TTD's clip of today's action shows a big block of 25,500 shares crossing on a big up tick to $43 from the prior trade at $42.82.
The stock has doubled from 20 to 40 during the past 12 months. (see TTD's long-term chart)
CNH's farm equipment includes tractors, harvesters, sprayers, and hay balers. The make up 60% of sales. The company also makes light-industrial and construction equipment including backhoes, excavators, forklifts, miniloaders, and telescopic handlers.
The company operates in 16 countries and sells worldwide through about 10,800 dealers. Financial services are offered in the US and Canada through CNH Capital America. Fiat controls 90% of the stock.
TTD's daily chart shows today's "gap breakout." The stock has pulled back a bit from its peak today, probably due in part to the soft stock market. That has dinged the accumulation - distribution line which has curled down. (see bottom of chart)
The TTD momentum indictor is about neutral. It will be important to see if CNH can hold its breakout and follow through to the upside.
This year, CNH's profits should surge 40% to $2.13 a share from $1.52 a year ago. The stock sells with a price-earnings ratio of 18. TTD sees that as a low valuation given the strong earnings this yea and the outlook.
Next year, CNH's earnings should climb 29% to $2.74 a share. So, the profit growth is about double the p/e ratio. That is a good valuation for growth investors.
CNH's net for the second quarter should rise 40% to 86 cents a share from 65 cents a year ago. CNH is benefiting from strong sales and expanding profit margins. It has also been able to maintain its prices.
Strategy Opinion: CNH's breakout looks good supported by strong profits. TTD is targeting the stock for a move to 52. In our prior report we were looking for a move to 48. So, we are more optimistic. A protective stop can be placed near 38.
CNH a very good intermediate-term play due to its strong profit outlook and modest valuation.
Sponsorship: Very Good. The largest fund buyer recently was 4-star rated Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund, which purchased 506,000 shares. It is the second largest fund holder now. The largest fund holder with a 1.2% stake is Franklin Balance Sheet Investment Fund, 4-star rated.
Insider Activity: Not available. Six analysts follow the stock, one has a buy, 4 are neutral, one has a sell.
