Bunzl could exceed the symbolic threshold of GBp 1342.
From a fundamental viewpoint, the group is in a good financial situation. Sales are expected to increase by + 12.7% on the current year, with a ROE (return on equity) of 26.7%, underscoring its ability to generate profit.
Since several months, the stock has initiated a sharp bullish trend mainly due to strong fundamentals. The move could be continued, supported by the 20-week moving average, and return to its highest price levels.
Therefore, investors will benefit from the signal given by the crossing of the GBp 1342 resistance to take a long position in the stock. The objective will be set near GBp 1450, corresponding to the bullish trend line. Once the position is opened, a stop loss should be fixed under effective entry point to guard against a trend reversal.
