Manchester United Plc Shares Fall To 2023 Low

Manchester United Shares Fall To 2023 Low

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United (often stylized as Man Utd, Man U or simply United), is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system. It is nicknamed the Red Devils. Manchester United was listed on NYSE in August 2012.

Since the price of $MANU reached $27.74 in August 2018, which currently stands as the all-time high, price has been falling and it eventually fell to an all-time low at $10.50 in July 2022. There was a sudden rise in the latter part of 2022 as price of MANU jumped. This jump made price reach $27 in February 2023 which is a 4-year high.

The family that controls Manchester United is reportedly leaning toward bringing in a minority investor, and not selling out the famous British soccer club. Investors hoping to cash in on a premium valuation were disappointed, after the shares of Man U went down as much as 10.63% on Monday, the 17th of April. Price has consolidated since the beginning of the year. This consolidation has made price fall to the current 2023 low at $19.07.

On the larger time frames, price is currently being controlled by the bulls. We might be seeing price rally in the coming weeks to $23 from the current price of $19.74.

First Republic Bank Shares In Historical Fall

First Republic Bank Shares In Historic Fall

First Republic’s stock fell 47% to a record low on Monday, 20th of March 2023. This fall is historical as price dipped to its all-time low at $11.56, below the IPO price at $27.50. First Republic Bank had its IPO on the week of the 6th December 2010. Investors have enjoyed a smooth rally over the last decade. Following the recent bank failures, investors apparently aren’t optimistic about the bank’s prospects so First Republic Bank received a $70 billion loan from JP Morgan and another $30 billion lifeline from a consortium of banks in order to strengthen its capital and liquidity positions. Despite this, $FRC still reached an all-time low.

Trading activities were halted several times for volatility, and they sank further after a report from the Wall Street Journal said rival banks led by JPMorgan (JPM) are trying to work on yet another rescue plan for First Republic.

2023 seems to be the worst year for $FRC shareholders despite the opening price of the year being $197.14. $FRC is currently at $13.82, which means it has lost 92.9% of the value it had at the beginning of the year. There has been a little rally in the share price of $FRC as price closed with a profit of 11.81% at the close of market on the 27th of March, 2023. RSI is currently oversold on the daily chart. Price of $FRC could range for the next few weeks before a rally might occur.

Layoffs, A Probable Cause Of Amazon’s Drop In Share Price

Amazon's Layoffs Linked To Share Price Fall

Amazon’s share price since it reached its all-time high at $189.78 in July 2021, has been falling. In December 2022, price hit $81 which is the lowest price since March 2020. Currently, $81 is the support level.

As 2023 opened, price initially consolidated around the support level. But in the second week of January, a bounce occurred. This bounce lifted price to $114.22 by the second day of February 2023. This is the highest price that the Amazon stock has attained in 2023.

After this rally, price dropped. As at last week on the 13th, Amazon’s share price had fallen to $88.71, the lowest price so far this month. There was a bounce that took price to $100 but the bears suddenly kicked in. Our analysts have come to conclude that this bearish takeover was probably a result of the recent mass layoff by Amazon. With this recent layoff, Amazon has totaled 27,000 employees that it has laid off this year.

Taking all this into account, our analysts think the bulls will reclaim the reins from the bears soon and price will rise to $120 in the next few weeks.

As of February 2023, Disney’s market cap stood at about $197Billion. As of 2020, its total number of employees was over 200,000.

The year 2023 seems to be bringing a bit of hope as January closed on a bullish note. The price has continued to rally in February as price reach a new high this year at $118.10, which occurred on the 9th of February. The $DIS bulls might push price higher in the coming weeks. Our analysts think the $DIS price could reach a resistance level at $140 if the rally continues. On the weekly chart, RSI indicates that price has been oversold. This could be good news for $DIS investors.

Since 2023 opened, Shopify’s share price has been rallying. This rally has taken price up to a 9-month high. Currently, price is at $47.33. This rally might be for a short period of time as the bears might push price lower below $23 in the coming months. The weekly chart shows price is oversold but the monthly chart shows price has been overbought. The bullish momentum might be counteracted with an aggressive bearish turn.

The Global Market Perspective In 2023

Global economic activity is experiencing a broad-based and sharper-than-expected slowdown, with inflation higher than it’s ever been in several decades. The cost-of-living crisis, tightening financial conditions in most regions, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the lingering COVID-19 pandemic all weigh heavily on the outlook. Global growth is forecasted to slow to 2.7 percent in 2023 from 3.2 percent in 2022. This is the weakest growth profile since 2001 except for the global financial crisis and the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Taking a look at a few of the markets in 2023:

1. Nifty 50: This is a benchmark Indian stock market index that represents the weighted average of 50 of the largest Indian companies listed on India’s National Stock Exchange. Nifty 50 had a bounce from the lockdown lows in 2021. This appreciation continued in 2022 as price reached an all-time high at 18900 in the last week of November. The first half of 2022 was dominated by the bears until July when the bulls pushed price to a new all-time high. in 2023, we might see Nifty 50 below 15000.

2. FTSE 100: This is a share index of the 100 companies listed on the London Stock Exchange with the highest market capitalisation. Just like Nifty 50, the FTSE 100 bounced from the pandemic lows. The FTSE 100 ranged between 7600 and 7682 in 2022. We might see a breakout of the resistance level of 7682 in 2023.

3. DAX: The DAX is a stock market index consisting of the 40 major German blue-chip companies trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The DAX rallied in 2021 from a 2022 low of 8288 to an all-time high at 16278. The first three quarters of 2022 were bearish until October as the bulls pushed the price of DAX upwards. The price of DAX could reach a new all-time high in 2023.

4. NIKKEI 225: The Nikkei 225 is the stock market index for the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The Nikkei measures the performance of 225 large and publicly owned companies in Japan from a wide array of industry sectors. The Nikkei 225 shows that it could reach a new all-time high in 2023. 2023 might just be a year to recover losses incurred in 2022 as a result of the activities of the bears.

5. S&P 500: The S&P 500 is a stock market index tracking the performance of 500 large companies listed on the stock exchanges in the United States. The year 2021 ended as the SPX reached an all-time high at 4822. The year 2022 was not a good year for the SPX investors. The year 2023 could be a year of recovery and SPX could reach a new all-time high.
