Awaiting CPI Thursday; Expect 4100-4165 SPX to Cap Upside; Buy Ideas Within Gold Miners, Insurance

By Joe Jasper

  • We currently see the market indexes as consolidating within broad horizontal trading ranges, and we expect these ranges to continue for months, and quite possibly for the entirety of 2023.
  • We see the top-end of the range at 4100-4165 on the S&P 500, while the bottom-end is at the 2022 lows (3490).
  • With yesterday’s break above 3910 it tells us a tradable rally has begun, with 4100-4165 our target

Harmony Gold: Unconvincing Margins And Overestimated Price Support

By Pearl Gray Equity and Research

  • Harmony Gold’s profitability ratios are severely compressed at both their current levels and their cyclical peaks.
  • Apart from lucrative dump mining sites, the company generally operates a high-cost model.
  • The security’s total return prospects are gloomy as Harmony’s stock lacks carry returns and its price returns remain severely speculative.

Matador Resources: Downgraded To Sell; 50% Downside Possible

By Pearl Gray Equity and Research

  • Matador Resources’ exponential growth trajectory could be crushed by less supportive oil and gas prices, which might compress the firm’s earnings per share.
  • However, acquisitions and expansion projects will be challenging during a period embodied by unfavorable capital structures and recession risk.
  • It’s been ten months since we covered Matador Resources’ (NYSE:MTDR) stock.
