IPG Photonics (IPGP): Moving Average Crossover Alert

Zacks Equity Research
Updated
The surge in oil equivalent production and crude price realization aid Energen's (EGN) Q3 numbers.

IPG Photonics Corporation IPGP could be a stock to avoid from a technical perspective, as the firm is seeing unfavorable trends on the moving average crossover front. Recently, the 50 Day Moving Average for IPGP broke out below the 200 Day Simple Moving Average, suggesting short-term bearishness.

This has already started to take place, as the stock has moved lower by 24.7% in the past four weeks. And with the recent moving average crossover, investors have to think that more unfavorable trading is ahead for IPGP stock.

If that wasn’t enough, IPG Photonics isn’t looking too great from an earnings estimate revision perspective either. It appears as though many analysts have been reducing their earnings expectations for the stock lately, which is usually not a good sign of things to come.

Consider that in the last 30 days, 4 estimates have been reduced, while none has moved higher. Add this in to a similar move lower in the consensus estimate, and there is plenty of reason to be bearish here.

That is why we currently have a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) on this stock and are looking for it to underperform in the weeks ahead. So either avoid this stock or consider jumping ship until the estimates and technical factors turn around for IPGP. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Zacks has just released a Special Report that spotlights this fast-emerging phenomenon and 6 tickers for taking advantage of it. If you don't buy now, you may kick yourself in 2020.
