Since 2019, the company's shares have been in an upward trend and are currently recovering from a correction, which makes it possible to purchase assets at an attractive value with a target of $94. At the same time, the profit-to-risk ratio assumes a target of 125, which, according to a rough estimate based on the current trend, the company can achieve by 2026, which, together with the dividends, offers the investor up to 10% of annual income in US dollars. In this case, if the shares fall below the $58 level, the investor should think about fixing losses. Investments are possible for 5% of the amount of liquid capital. Shorter targets of interest to traders should involve shorter stops. The target of $94 implies a stop below the level of $72, but its implementation may occur by the end of this year. An investor or trader should not deceive himself, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the previously adopted plan. Everyone should be careful and follow the rules of money management.
