I've noticed that my scans are beginning to return fewer and fewer results. This is generally not a good sign. It tells me that we need to babysit our positions and not add to our exposure. I have three stocks for you today and only three extra "stocks to review" with one of them being a repeat from yesterday, BioNTech (BNTX). I nearly added BNTX to today's "Diamonds in the Rough", but it was up over 5.4% today and is due for a pullback now.
While the three stocks I did pick as "Diamonds in the Rough" are lined up fairly well, as noted above I would think very carefully about increasing your exposure right now. It may be a good idea to firm up your stops as well.
Today's "Diamonds in the Rough": GPK, NFLX and OHI.
Stocks to Review: BNTX, SBAC and TPR.

Welcome to DecisionPoint Daily Diamonds, wherein I highlight five "Diamonds in the Rough." These are selected from the results of my DecisionPoint scans, which search for stocks that could benefit from the trend and condition of the market. Remember, these are not recommendations to buy or sell, but are the most interesting of the stocks that surfaced in my scans. My objective is to save you the work of the initial, tedious culling process, but you need to apply your own analysis to see if these stocks pique your interest as well. There are no guaranteed winners here!
Graphic Packaging Holding Co. (GPK)
EARNINGS: 2/17/2022 (BMO)
Graphic Packaging Holding Co. provides paper-based packaging solutions for a variety of products to food, beverage and other consumer products companies. The firm produces folding cartons, kraft paperboard, coated-recycled boxboard and multi-wall bags. It operates through the following business segments: Paperboard Mills, Americas Paperboard Packaging and Europe Paperboard Packaging. The Paperboard Mills segment includes the eight North American paperboard mills which produce coated unbleached kraft paperboard and coated-recycled paperboard. The Americas Paperboard Packaging segment includes paperboard folding cartons sold to consumer packaged goods companies serving the food, beverage and consumer product markets in the Americas. The Europe Paperboard Packaging segment includes paperboard folding cartons sold to consumer packaged goods companies serving the food, beverage and consumer product markets in Europe. The company was founded on December 28, 1992 and is headquartered in Atlanta, GA.
Predefined Scans Triggered: P&F Double Top Breakout and P&F Ascending Triple Top Breakout.
GPK is up +1.18% in after hours trading. GPK broke out on Monday, pulled back before the close and stayed above resistance. Tuesday it began to rise again. While it was down slightly today, I see yesterday and today's price action as a consolidation of the breakout. The RSI is positive and there is a PMO bottom above the signal line. The PMO is far from being overbought. Stochastics are positive and trending higher with price. The group is losing steam as far as relative performance. GPK is a strong performer within the group and it has been outperforming the SPY this month. The stop can be set at 7.5% below the May top and late October low.
The weekly chart looks good with a positive weekly RSI and a new weekly PMO crossover BUY signal. It is making new all-time highs so I would set an upside target of 16% at about $24.70.
Netflix, Inc. (NFLX)
EARNINGS: 1/18/2022 (AMC)
Netflix, Inc. operates as a streaming entertainment service company. The firm provides subscription service streaming movies and television episodes over the Internet and sending DVDs by mail. It operates through the following segments: Domestic Streaming, International Streaming and Domestic DVD. The Domestic Streaming segment derives revenues from monthly membership fees for services consisting of streaming content to its members in the United States. The International Streaming segment includes fees from members outside the United States. The Domestic DVD segment covers revenues from services consisting of DVD-by-mail. The company was founded by Marc Randolph and Wilmot Reed Hastings Jr. on August 29, 1997 and is headquartered in Los Gatos, CA.
Predefined Scans Triggered: Moved Above the Upper Price Channel, New CCI Buy Signals, New 52-week Highs, Stocks in a New Uptrend (Aroon) and P&F Double Top Breakout.
NFLX is down -0.12% in after hours trading. I've covered NFLX twice before on March 31st 2020 (position is still open as stop wasn't hit. It is up +84.2%) and November 10th 2020 (stop was never hit so this position is up +44.0%). NFLX is again poised to move higher. Today price broke to new all-time highs by breaking above resistance at the October high. The RSI is positive and the PMO is rising toward a crossover BUY signal. Stochastics have made it above 80 and seem ready to oscillate there. Relative strength for the group is beginning to trend higher this month. NFLX is a clear out-performer against the group and the SPY. I've set the stop at the November low.
The weekly chart is very bullish. After consolidating for much of late 2020 and into 2021, this summer price broke out. It is in a confirmed uptrend. The weekly RSI is on the overbought side, but the PMO is rising nicely after a crossover BUY signal that on the breakout. Since it is at all-time highs, I would set a 16% target at around $802.36.
Omega Healthcare Invs, Inc. (OHI)
EARNINGS: 2/3/2022 (AMC)
Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. engages in the provision of financing and capital to the long-term healthcare industry with a particular focus on skilled nursing facilities. Its portfolio consists of long-term leases and mortgage agreements. The company was founded on March 31, 1992 and is headquartered in Hunt Valley, MD.
Predefined Scans Triggered: Elder Bar Turned Green, P&F Bullish Signal Reversal and P&F Double Bottom Breakout.
OHI is up +0.03% in after hours trading. This one is a little more risky given the very negative configuration of the EMAs. Price is traveling within a bullish falling wedge. Today price did breakout above the 20-EMA, but we've seen that before. What really interested me was the positive OBV divergence which suggests a breakout ahead with a sustained rally. The PMO has bottomed numerous times above its signal line which is very bullish. The RSI has just entered positive territory. Relative strength isn't anything to write home about as it is performing inline with the SPY. Because this is a risky play, I've set a 5.5% stop just below Monday's intraday low.
The weekly chart definitely needs some time to firm up, but the weekly RSI is trending higher and the weekly PMO appears ready to bottom in oversold territory. This isn't a strong level of support in my mind given it only lines up with the early 2019 lows. If it can rebound here and reach 2021 highs that would be a 28.2% gain.
