Is It Prudent to Book Profit on This HealthCare Stock - Totally?

Totally PLC (LON: TLY)

Totally PLC is an FTSE AIM All-Share index-listed healthcare service provider in the UK and Ireland. It works in partnership with the NHS (“National Health Service) and other providers to deliver healthcare services.

The ex-dividend date for the interim dividend was 3 February 2022, while the payment date was 25 February 2022.

Investment Rationale – SELL at GBX 36.00

  • Macroeconomic Risk: The Russian invasion in Ukraine has already jolted the market, while the slow retail growth and battered consumer spending in the UK amid rising fuel costs can keep the equity market under pressure.
  • Profit Booking Opportunity: The stock price witnessed a decent rally and managed to breach the resistance 1 levels provided in the last coverage. Thus, it would be a decent opportunity to book profit for the investors.
  • Weak Liquidity Levels: In terms of liquidity, the current ratio and quick ratio of TLY remained lower than the respective industry median, indicating the Company had less capability of paying short term obligations when compared with the industry.
  • Technical Indicator: From a technical standpoint, the 14-day RSI (~62.98) is approaching an overbought territory.
