Investment Rationale – SELL at AUD 13.690
- Profit Booking: NST’s stock price is hovering close to the R2 level suggested in the previous report published on 14 March 2023. Therefore, it is presenting a profit booking opportunity.
- Overvalued Multiples: On a 12-month forward basis, key trading multiples (EV/EBITDA, Price/Cash Flow, and Price/Earnings) are higher than the average for the Basic Materials’ sector.
- Technical Standpoint: The 14-day RSI (~57.16) is approaching an overbought zone. Thus, stock prices can face retracement in the short-term.
