Tantiangco PHILSTOCKS ACTION PLAN Despite lower Q1 and possibly Q2 2020 earnings due to the impact of the ECQ, NOW’s 5 year 5G Fixed Wireless Access Plan for NCR and nearby areas offers bright prospects for the firm coupled with the economy’s move towards digitalization amid the new normal. Risks to NOW’s future however is the expected tightening of competition in the telecommunications industry and a prolonged macroeconomic weakness which could reduce overall demand for the telecommunication services. Currently, its share is forming a triangle pattern. A breakout above the triangle could lead to a continuation of the stock’s rally.

The plan will offer 10 gigabit per second. Capital Expenditure allotted for the plan is about $713 million, most of which will be used to acquire 5G New Radio equipment. Coronavirus induced new normal compels businesses to pursue digital transformation plans setting up opportunities for the telecommunications industry moving forward. Shift of activities such as schooling to indoors amid lingering COVID-19 risks also offer opportunities. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS NOW is currently in a tightening consolidation, forming a triangle pattern with the trend support and resistance’s convergence point seen at around 2.10. This comes after the stock’s rally from its March 19 bottom close of 1.10. Aside from the ascending trend support of the triangle pattern, NOW has a support level at 2.00. Meanwhile, its 50-day exponential moving average serves as a dynamic support. On the upside, its hurdle is the 200-day exponential moving average and the descending trend resistance of the triangle pattern. Breaching these two would leave the 2.35 resistance as the next target. The stock’s On Balance Volume has formed an uptrend implying an accumulation bias. RISKS Fierce competition expected as PLDT, Inc. and Globe Telecom, Inc. continue to upgrade their network services in preparation for the upcoming third telecommunication’s player Dito Telecommunity. Prolonged macroeconomic weakness brought by the COVID-19 spread and its consequent social restrictions which may reduce overall demand for telecommunication services. The company’s network roll out may get delayed if the country reverts back to stricter quarantine measures. Philstocks Research 2020 3 |Page AllHome Corp. [PSE:HOME] Philstocks On-Balance View: TRADE Initial target Price: P8.00—P9.45 Entry Price: P7.00 Cut loss Price: P6.65 Research Analyst: Claire T. Alviar PHILSTOCKS ACTION PLAN Trading range is from psychological support of P7.00 to P8.00’s resistance area. Short-term uptrend momentum could continue if RSI (14) stays above 50 level, but be cautious as MACD (12,26,9) shows sell signal already. Set a cut loss point, or 5% -7% below your entry point. Meanwhile, second support is at P6.15. Foreigners were net buyers, ytd. Fundamental-wise, it is one of the companies that has reported positive earnings in the first quarter despite the lockdown measures.
