Herman Miller, Inc. (NASDAQ:MLHR)
Herman Miller, Inc. (MLHR), a global furnishings and related technologies and services company, yesterday reported their fiscal fourth quarter 2016 financial results. Herman Miller reported fourth quarter earnings of $0.67 per share, which beat analyst estimates of $0.52 per share. Herman Miller reported fourth quarter revenues increased 5.8% year over year to of $582.6 million.
h3 Herman Miller, Inc. CEO’s Comments/h3Brian Walker, Chief Executive Officer, stated , “Strong net sales and order growth were a clear highlight of our results this quarter, capping a full fiscal year that set an all-time record level of sales for our company. We also delivered a year-over-year increase in adjusted earnings per share of 19% in the fourth quarter. Our fifth dividend increase in the past four years reflects the confidence of the Board and our leadership team in the power of our long-term strategy to create shareholder value. These results are a tribute to the talent and effort of our people and they demonstrate the meaningful progress we have made on our strategic priorities.”
h3 MLHR Technical Analysis/h3MLHR opened trading yesterday at $31.59, which was up from the previous day's trading of $31.48. MLHR closed trading yesterday at $31.21 and climbed up after market to $32.85, equivalent to a 5% increase from the closing price.
Taking a look at the daily chart, looking at last time MLHR traded above these levels, we have to go all the way back to December 2007 when it traded at highs of $33.89. Taking a closer look at the daily chart we can see that MLHR has been in an upward trend dating back to February 11th, when it traded at its 52-week low price of $22.60.
MLHR has a float of 59.16 million shares and traded 1.39 times the normal daily trading volume on Wednesday. For trading purposes, I would like to see MLHR open trading on Thursday above $32.30, and if it does I would be looking to take a long position at the bell. My stop loss would be $0.30 from my entry position, fearing anything more than that and the stock would start to fill the gap up.
