Watsco is the largest heating, air conditioning and refrigeration products manufacturer. Since 1947, the company based in Florida operates in more than 500 locations in United States, Puerto Rico, Caribbean and Latin American countries.
With a turnover expected close to 3.5 billion dollars for 2012 fiscal year and a net result at 106 million dollars, the company net margin is up to 3% and shows a strong growth potential. Earnings per share should be 3.34 USD for 2012, 20% up from 2011 exercise. Consensus is confident and analysts from Thomson-Reuters advise investors to buy this stock.
An important volatility was noticed during last two weeks but the security is now up to its 3 moving averages, which could play as strong support. The consolidation phase engaged during the latest sessions forms an interesting entry point to benefit from a bullish trend on the way to the USD 75 level.
Investors could take a long position on the stock on the current level with an objective at USD 75. A stop loss will be positioned below 100-days moving average at USD 71.1.
