h3 Eaton Vance Corp. CEO’s Comments/h3h3 EV technical Analysis/h3“The positive organic growth Eaton Vance experienced in the first nine months of our fiscal year continued through the fourth quarter as strong flows into Custom Beta strategies were supported by positive net sales of active strategies. Steady earnings progress over the course of the fiscal year positions the Company for continued improvement in fiscal 2017.” Barrons
EV opened trading yesterday at $40.13 which was down from the previous day’s trading close of $40.57. EV closed trading yesterday at $39.63 and crashed down after market to $37.00, equivalent to a 7% decrease from the closing price. Taking a look at the daily chart we can see that the last time EV traded below these levels we have to go back to the week of November 8th when it traded $35.44. Taking a closer look at the daily chart we can see that before the spike down EV had been in an overall upward trend dating back to November 2nd when it traded at $34.60. EV has a float of 104.04 million shares and traded 1.54 times the normal daily trading volume on Tuesday. For trading purposes, I would like to see EV open trading on Wednesday below $37.85 and if it does I would be looking to take a short position at the bell. My stop loss would be $0.25 from my entry position fearing anything more than that and the stock would start to fill in the gap down.
