After Earnings, $58 Is In Sight for Cisco Stock
Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) reported earnings last night and investors are loving it. It spiked 3% on the headline and as of this writing, it's up 6% from yesterday's close. Today's write up is to share an opportunity to trade Cisco stock up from here -- but with a cautionary asterisk. The bottom line is that CSCO has technical and fundamental reasons to set new highs for 2019. This earnings report confirms that management can get the job done.Source: Shutterstock Let's first start with the investing environment: it's been volatile. Monday, equity markets panicked on headlines that China had retaliated against the new U.S. tariffs and the trade talks had completely broke down.In spite of it, CSCO stock bounced and recovered the dip. It even closed +.8% going into its earnings report. This is a sign of confidence from its investors especially when the rhetoric in the media is full of skepticism. Case in point, year-to-date Cisco stock is up 26% which is 70% better than the S&P 500. In 24 months, the difference is three fold.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsLast night, management delivered a report card that justified investors' confidence. CSCO beat on every metric that matters. They even guided sales above expectations. Cisco left nothing for the bears to sink their claws into. Selling this report makes no sense at this time.There were a few concern about margins but nothing that is going to last. The data suggest that the transition to cloud services and subscriptions is ongoing and according to plan. Completing this migration could fuel a longer rally to help Cisco stock set new multi-year highs or maybe even re-approach its Dotcom glory.Next, we examine the fundamentals -- and they are solid. CSCO sells at a 20 trailing P/E ratio which is cheap in absolute and relative terms. It is inline with Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) and 30% less expensive than Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). This is not a knock against MSFT's valuation, however. They have completed their transformation. CSCO is making headway, but still has some time to go. And that's the opportunity for the long term.But here is the opportunity for the short term. The CSCO chart technicals suggest that the spike here is the start of another leg higher. This probably won't be a straight shot to the target. Cisco stock will hit resistance at $54.40 so what happens in the next few days is important.If I am long the stock, then I stay in it and ignore the small dips in this rally. But if I am looking to start a new bullish position then I can either buy Cisco stock here and accept that I may suffer a few red ticks before gaining. Or, I would set a trigger to buy when it Cisco stock closes above $54.50 per share. If this is a trade not an investment then I should also set a stop loss because below $51 per share would bring momentum sellers to target $48 or lower. The Bottom Line on Cisco StockSo to summarize the opportunity today: For the past two weeks, CSCO stock price range tightened into a point and this looks like a breakout from it. CSCO should have legs as long as it holds the support.While I like the macroeconomic environment, I worry a bit about the geopolitical headline risk. China and the U.S. are in full economic war as they try to come to terms. This is likely to linger for a few months, but I bet we have a reprieve from new news until mid June. * 7 Stocks to Buy that Lost 10% Last Week Investors liked hearing from the Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins that the tariffs are no longer a threat. CSCO has shifted operations to avoid the headwinds that those would create. That is the perfect example of a management team that is mature and doesn't leave many things to chance. Robbins also reiterated his commitment to increasing the percent of business to come from software and subscriptions.The experts on Wall Streets agree that there is more upside in CSCO stock. Most analysts who cover the stock have a BUY rating on it and it is still trading well below their average price target.Nicolas Chahine is the managing director of SellSpreads.com.

5 Top Stock Trades for Thursday: GOOGL, TSLA, BAC
The stock market put together a decent rally on Wednesday, adding to Tuesday's gains as tech led the way higher. Bulls are hopeful that more gains are to come, while others may look at the rally as an opportunity get short or lighten up their long exposure. Let's look at some top stock trades ahead of Thursday. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 1: Alphabet Click to EnlargeDid investors sleep on this one too long? Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL, NASDAQ:GOOG) has been a dog since its earnings report in April, but that's not what we saw on Wednesday. Shares are erupting more than 4% on the day, up about $50 apiece.The move forms a bullish engulfing candle, as shares took out Tuesday's lows before rocketing higher above the prior session's high. Now what?InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 3 of the Best ETFs to Buy for a Play on Gold Stocks Just $15 above current levels and GOOGL will hit its 20-day moving average. This moving average was prior support over the past few months, gently guiding Alphabet stock higher. We'll see if there's a "change in tone" with the stock now if this moving average acts as resistance.If GOOGL is able to clear it, it will contend with the 50-day up near $1,200, a key level in itself. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 2: Tesla Click to EnlargeThe capital raise gave a temporary boost to Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) earlier this month. However, once TSLA broke below long-term range support near $250, we're now seeing this level act as resistance. That's emphasized by the chart's purple arrow.For now, Tesla remains trapped in a long-term downward channel. It will remain in that channel until either more downside breaks it down below support or bulls can rally through channel resistance. The issue for longs? They'll now have to get through downtrend resistance and the $250-ish level to undo much of this technical damage.First things first though, they need break TSLA above channel resistance. Then we'll re-examine. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 3: Bank of America Click to EnlargeMany banks are trading well, but we're not seeing the same "oomph" in Bank of America (NYSE:BAC). Shares are clinging to prior range support near $28 and haven't cleared the 200-day moving average in Wednesday's session.That gives me some concern. Below $28 and the $26.50 to $27 range from March may be in play. This is where BAC bottomed during the rate-inversion scare a few months ago. If $28 holds, look to see BAC get back through the 200-day and see how it handles $29.20 to $29.50. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 4: Zscaler Click to EnlargeThis is a breakout we flagged earlier in the week, as we were looking for stocks that were showing notable strength amid the market's recent correction. The 20-day moving average held as support for Zscaler (NASDAQ:ZS) all week, while the 50-day and uptrend support continue to guide shares higher.Last week the stock peeked its head over the $72.50 level, but Monday's selloff cut the rally short. After a few days of consolidation, we're seeing a nice move in ZS. See that $72.50 holds as support now. Below and bulls may want to wait for a retest of support before getting long again. Aggressive bulls may consider buying a retest-and-hold of $72.50-ish, provided the overall market climate warrants it.Notice how the RSI suggests shares aren't overbought and the MACD shows that momentum is now in bulls' favor (blue circles). If not for the trade-war worries, there would be much more confidence in this stock. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 5: Salesforce Click to EnlargeThis one is really interesting to me, as Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) is a name I was long for quite some time. Shares have been range-bound for a few months now, bobbing between $150 and $166 since February.Earnings aren't until June 4th and even though the trade war has little to no impact on CRM, the stock just doesn't have much mojo. Last week shares rallied off range support, but were stymied by the 20-day and 50-day moving averages (with the former crossing below the latter, indicating bearish short-term momentum). Downtrend resistance (blue line) has also keep a lid on the name. * 10 Retirement Stocks That Won't Wilt in a Bear Market Over $157.50 gets me interested, while a bounce over $160 gets me excited. Otherwise, bulls may want to wait for a pullback into the $152 range. Keep in mind that if CRM can't get above downtrend resistance, a break of range support may be in the cards. That puts a test of the 200-day immediately on the table, with lower prices to come should that fail as support.Bret Kenwell is the manager and author of Future Blue Chips and is on Twitter @BretKenwell. As of this writing, Bret Kenwell is long GOOGL.
