Cepheid Inc. (CPHD)


Company Description
Cepheid, a molecular diagnostics company, develops, manufactures, and markets integrated systems for testing in the clinical market, as well as for application in its biothreat, industrial, and partner markets. The company’s systems enable molecular testing for organisms and genetic-based diseases by automating otherwise complex manual laboratory procedures. The company’s systems integrate these steps and analyze complex biological samples in its proprietary test cartridges.


Faizan's take
CPHD traded at $31.13 a share on Monday's close. Its chart is showing a perfectly formed head and shoulder topping pattern. Shorting CPHD today might yield a good profit in the near mid term.
Suggested price target $28.55 (8.3% gain).
