Recent Strength Might Be An Exit Opportunity Here

Earnings Beats Digest - July 25, 2022

Last week, we saw Snap, Inc. (SNAP) rise to its highest level in two months, just before it released its awful Q2 earnings report.

While the short-term strength was nice, SNAP remained very close to its 52-week relative low as Wall Street simply wasn't buying. After last week's dismal report, we now know why.

Enter ROKU, Inc. (ROKU):

Recent Strength Might Be An Exit Opportunity Here

Clearly, $100 represents very significant price resistance. Meanwhile, I wouldn't be shocked at all to see ROKU revisit its mid-June closing low of 73.25 this week. There's just been no budging of its relative strength line vs. computer hardware ($DJUSCR) and it remains very close to a 52-week relative low.

Once again, Wall Street is showing little interest in ROKU and we might just find out why on Thursday. Holding any stock into earnings is risky, but I believe it's even riskier when Wall Street is turning its back on a company.

What does this mean?

  • I don't care what happens to ROKU after its earnings report, there's simply no way I'd be a buyer heading into those earnings - there are WAY too many warning signs here.

 

Happy Trading!
