Today’s Buy Pick: SONC

Tomorrow [now today], Sonic Corp. (SONC) looks to be a very bullish for tomorrow. In after hours, Sonic reported very positive earnings, beating expectations on revenue and EPS. The reason we like Sonic is because the company should be able to move up significantly. First, the market looks pretty positive for tomorrow. The Fed’s expected announcements should be extremely positive for the market as they should confirm rates and give bullish news on the economy.

Futures are already up strongly for the Dow and S&P as they expect good news from the Fed. Even if the Fed news is not extremely bullish, the market should move SONC up higher before the announcement, which should come sometime in the early afternoon. Sonic’s earnings beat EPS by 0.04, even though the company did see a dip in profits and sales. However, the company was highly criticized for their pricing in the last quarter and introduced a cheaper menu to draw in customers. Typically, when a company reports strong earnings, The Oxen Group does not like to recommend it because the stock will move down from a gap up. However, with Sonic, the stock has a low volume, which means that the stock should be flooded with more investors, making it easier for the rise.

Further, Sonic has strong technical indicators that should also help the stock move up. It is slightly oversold, undervalued, and towards its lower bollinger band – it has a lot to room move up. After the stock gaps up, and moves down, with a bullish market, Sonic earnings should continue to advance the stock.
