SANM Earnings and Outlook
Sanmina Corporation’s shares exceeded all expectations and surged over 11% in after hours trading on Monday afternoon. In a report published Tuesday, Sanmina’s rating was upgraded from Underperform to Neutral by Longbow analyst Joe Wittine. This was likely due to Sanmina’s Q3 results, which surpassed all initial predictions. It earned revenue of $1.54 billion (0.53 per share), while analysts expected it to reach $1.52 billion or 0.49 per share. The third quarter concluded at the end of June. The fourth quarter has a strong outlook. Investing.com

Technical Analysis
SANM gapped up today to $21.50 up from yesterday’s close of $19.03 which is a 13% increase on a favorable earnings announcement. Taking a look at the daily chart there has been a wide range for the stock from the 52 week lows of $16.57 on October 14, 2014 to highs of 26.08 on November 6, 2014. The stock has broke the 50 day moving average of 20.50 with its gap up today and is approaching the 200 day moving average of 22.08. The first significant resistance level for the stock will be at $22 which it reached on June 23 and May 14 forming a double top on a 3 month chart. I would look for some consolidation at current price levels to see if the stock can hold the gap up price. If it is able to break thru the $22 price level the next possible resistance would be $25.
