Warrior Trading | Feb 09, 2017 08:29AM ET
FleetCor Technologies, a global provider of fuel cards and workforce payment products to businesses company yesterday reported their fiscal fourth quarter 2016 financial results. FleetCor reported fourth quarter adjusted earnings of $1.90 per share which beat analyst estimates of $1.86 per share. FleetCor reported fourth quarter revenues of $515 million which beat analyst estimates of $505.4 million.
h3 FleetCor Technologies CEO’s Comments/h3h3 FLT Technical Analysis/h3Q4 revenue and adjusted net income per share finished above the high end of our guidance range, and Q4 new sales bookings recovered quite nicely,” said Ron Clarke, chairman and chief executive officer, FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. “We are expecting 2017 to be a great year, with organic revenue growth accelerating to 10%, and adjusted net income projected to grow 19%, at the mid-point of the guidance range. Business Wire
FLT opened trading yesterday at $148.62, which was down from the previous day’s trading close of $148.75. Shares closed trading yesterday at $151.25 and spiked up after market to $163.59, equivalent to a 8% increase from the closing price. Taking a look at the daily chart we can see that the last time FLT traded above these levels we have to go back to November 1st, 2016 when it traded at $172.68.
Taking a closer look at the daily chart we can see that before the spike up FLT had been in an overall downward trend dating back to October 31st, 2016 when it traded at $175.30. FLT has a float of 85.56 million shares and traded 1.70 times the normal daily trading volume on Wednesday. For trading purposes, I would like to see FLT open trading on Thursday above $159.50 and if it does I would be looking to take a long position at the bell. My stop loss would be $1.00 from my entry position fearing anything more than that and the stock would start to fill in the gap up.
