JKHY – Reversal of Trend with 30% Shorting Opportunity?

Short
NASDAQ:JKHY   Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.
Fundamental Indicators:
  • Sector – Technology
  • US Business Cycle Stage – late cycle, when this sector is the least favourable
  • Revenue - consistently growing since for the last 10 years, average 5-year rate at 16%
  • Profits – 2022 TTM shows 13% increase compared to 2021
  • Net margin – a good level of margin with 18%
  • P/E – quite high at 42 compared to S&P500 with 21 and Technology sector 20
  • Liabilities - debt ratio is at 0.42 which is within normal limits, Net Debt/ EBITDA is at 0.29 – no problems with debt
  • Conclusion – still good financial performance but PE ratio is quite high, and correction is long overdue in the current market conditions

Technical Analysis (Elliott Waves):
  • Main scenario of this idea suggests that we are still observing development of the global growth cycle which is currently at the stage completing wave 3 of the final fifth wave (see higher timeframe graph)
  • The corrective wave that was formed since August 2020 can be clearly identified as Contracting Triangle which has culminated in January 2022 with wave E
  • Since then, we can see a very choppy bull run which is often a sign of an Ending Diagonal and in this case, it is an Expanding type where wave 1 is smaller than wave 3 and wave 3 is smaller than wave 5

This is a higher timeframe to reflect the full history of JKHY and to provide full wave count:
