1) Overview:
Cardinal Health (CAH) exhibits a strong bullish tendency throughout the first two months of the year, starting with a modest gain on January 2nd and climbing steadily to a peak around February 19th. After this high point, the stock experiences a period of consolidation and slight decline through much of the spring and summer. A significant bullish phase then emerges in the fall, culminating in a substantial peak around November 13th (+16.7%), before gradually declining into the end of the year, still closing high on December 31st (+12.5%).
2) Buy-the-dip points:
Several periods offer potential "buy-the-dip" opportunities. The first occurs in March, as the stock pulls back from its February highs. Another dip appears in May, presenting a chance to enter before the stock begins to recover in June and July. A smaller pullback occurs in August and September, before the stock begins its strong climb in October and November.
3) Summary:
An investment strategy might involve accumulating shares during the spring and summer pullbacks, specifically in March and May, to capitalize on the subsequent rallies. The most significant opportunity appears to be before the large rally that historically occurs between October and November. Investors should be aware of the potential for a slight decline in December, but overall, the year-end performance remains positive.
