Conclusion

Looking forward, the main focus of the Company is on accelerating UK sales growth, developing the next-generation product, expanding into new markets, and widening the portfolio. Myhealthchecked is a market-leading product and has a strong foundation in fertility tracking and pregnancy self-testing, which will help more and more women and couples through their fertility pathway. However, the near-term economic outlook stays unclear.  Moreover, the Covid-19 pandemic continued to create operational challenges while the global uncertainty remained over the supply chain distribution. In the future, the Company may face emerging headwinds and cost pressures. Further, the prolonged impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continued to affect its financial results, plans, operations, outlook, goals, reputation, liquidity and stock price. The stock made a 52-week low and high of GBX 0.60 and GBX 4.90, respectively.

Based on the factors as highlighted above, we believe the stock of Myhealthchecked Plc is looking “Expensive” at the current price of GBX 3.50 (as on 24 February 2021, before the market close at 10:11 AM GMT), with support from few catalysts needs to be evaluated at a later stage such as decent prospects of London market and improved investors sentiments.

Jangada Mines Plc (LON: JAN) is a FTSE AIM All-Share Mining Company and is exploring and developing in North East Brasil, which focuses on the natural resource sector, including Vanadium, Titanium and Iron.

  • The Company’s profitability margins and Return on equity remained in the negative zone from the last four years.
  • The Company’s EV/EBITDA, Price/Earnings and Price/Cash Flow multiples are in the negative zone.
  • From the technical standpoint, 14-day RSI stood at ~64.13, which means the stock price could decline in the short term.

Key Risks

  • The volatility in the commodity prices and uncertainty in demand can affect the business of Jangada Mines.
  • Any disruption in the operations and production caused due to macroeconomic or political events can affect the business.
  • The Company is exposed to financial risk, which includes lack of liquidity, weakness in the balance sheet, large tax payments and improper financial reporting.

Conclusion

The Company will ramp up the activity at Pitombeiras, with increasing demand for clean energy materials such as vanadium. However, the Company is in the development stage and do not generate any revenue for the period. The Company’s operational performance was challenged by the Covid-19 outbreak and the collapse in rare earth metals.  The Company remains exposed to low prices for the products. JAN’s business is exposed to economic and market fluctuations, which may adversely affect the Company’s business and financial performance. The Company has also adopted several cost-cutting measures (until the crisis gets subside). The Group is presently trading near the 52-week high, raising doubts at the upside potential at the current price level. The stock made a 52-week low and high of GBX 0.90 and GBX 12.50, respectively.

Based on the current market dynamics and factors as discussed above, we believe that the Jangada Mines Plc stock is looking “Expensive” at the current price of GBX 9.20 (as on 24 February 2021, before the market close at 11:12 AM GMT).
