Really just shows how idiotic people like Morningstar are. How could anyone calculate a fair value down to the exact cent.? Moronic.

My very conservative dirty DCF valuation range is $10-12, but I think the quality of the business gives a bit more margin of safety. I am not accumulating at current prices, but given my cost price varies from round $1to round $6 I am certainly not a seller either!!
 
Early breakout above the trading range or false break?
Volume's not there. I'd call the daily MACD indicator encouraging though. I'm on the fence - more so with the H1 report impending

..and so it goes. Filled the gap and back in the range, but note the low volume. Still has a mini higher low, higher high.
I'm 'micro managing' my commentary on this I admit but I'm hanging my hat on a good H1 report in a week that could fuel a blow off. I can use that to reduce Codan and add to cash. As alluded to by the discussion here, it's all about sentiment now as the consensus is that it's over-valued on current metrics.

According to market watch info Codan won't report until Friday 21 Feb, almost a week later than last year.
 
Do you reckon it's a pump and dump or a definitive move up. @finicky . I traded Codan some years ago between $8 and $14 and in between from memory and it used thrown some funny volume like that. Although the original owners would have been selling in those days.

I haven't followed them for a fair while now so am ignorant of the fundamentals.

Neither has occurred to me @Garpal Gumnut. It's hard to see it going a lot further but I've said that before about CDA well before it topped.
The all data chart shows it previously peaked higher but the first momentum indicator is flashing a warning. Codan has had two previous crashes (2013 and 2021) so I don't want to be over exposed to it. I have a tendency to hold on for my irrational price rather than respond quickly to what the chart and fundamentals seem to be telling me.

Oh, just saw that today it reports. I am most uneasy, having taken no precautionary action toward an overpriced stock that is my biggest weighting. I guess this is how they felt at dawn in the landing barges as they approached the glowering beaches of Normandy. Or maybe Gary Cooper stepping onto the dirt street at High Noon - except this announcement should break around 9 or 10 a.m

I think the result is solid. I dont like the debt, its got to the point that I wouldn't buy the business as a result of that one metric. The thing that offsets my concern somewhat is management's track record on capital allocation.

The development of the business has been very impressive over the last 10 years, and while I think the price has run well ahead of value, its not hard to see CDA growing into the price range if they continue to execute well.
