Mechel PAO (MTL)

[I-Man]

Yep... I still see a 3.75 area to retest though...?? Will it or not? Now with G20 commencing it will be interesting to see...

[Golf4Food]

MTL has been under investigation for derailing HRC's election "win"... / sarc

I never checked, closing that one gap though

[I-Man]

Why was MTL halted yesterday??? Anyone know??? Some investigation going on with all the Russia Talk...??

[I-Man]

Why this has tanked:::

Annual Non-GAAP earnings Announced April 26, 2017 were -$0.76
Annual Consensus of analysts $0.36
Difference from consensus -147.37%

2017 Earnings will announce (Unconfirmed) August 29, 2017

That plus fact 24/7 every Liberal/Progressive news agency it seems in USA still rants on and on and on about "Russian Collusion"... Guess it was OK for Bill & Hillary's Foundation to receive over $100 Million from Russians when she was Secty. of State for her part aiding in selling 20% of our uranium to the Russian Nuclear Commission, and he received 3 times his normal speaking fees??? Nobody talks about those "facts"...

[I-Man]

Lost lots of major support and falling to 4.00 level as I predicted now... In fact, looks like 3.00 may happen, than all past "gaps" I posted months ago would have filled and traded through before this will ever gain ground again going forward technically IMHO...

[I-Man]

Board Decision not good sadly... ONLY preferred's get 18 cents per share held??? That's worse than Ole' DRYS CEO is giving its common holders...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

SEC 6-K

The Board of Directors made the following recommendations to the general meeting of Mechel PAO's shareholders:

- not to pay an annual dividend with respect to ordinary shares;

- to pay an annual dividend of 10.28 rubles per one preferred share (approximately 0.18 US dollars per one preferred share and 0.09 US dollars per one preferred ADR*);

- to make the payment by bank transfer within the time period and according to form prescribed by Russian law.

[I-Man]

Earnings out, but revenues lower than 2016Q4. Only "profitability" is that based on those who invested in its stock for moment...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>



“In total our consolidated revenue was 77.4 billion rubles for the reporting period, which is 3% less than in the fourth quarter of 2016, while EBITDA went down by 7% and reached 22.8 billion rubles.

At the same time, our net profit attributable to equity shareholders of Mechel PAO for the first quarter went up by nearly nine times, reaching 13.9 billion rubles.”

[I-Man]

Earnings out May 31st.. I have no position here, but with recent events and filings and "anti Russia" rederick in media 24/7, a quick drop to 4.00 would not surprise me for many reasons...

[I-Man]

Right now, I'd feel lots better long term seeing this drop down to 4.00 level to wipe out a few gaps made previously ... but damn, media has got to stop 24/7 "Russian Collusion" crap talk against our President daily...

[I-Man]

Yes Golf, I agree with you there

[Golf4Food]

Well said bud, just been watching from the sidelines. The narrative surrounding Russia is complete insanity, but its working in their favor for now as the stupid sheeple believe anything on the teevee... I could go on but this is a stock board LOL.

side note: The Ukraine coup is just the start, the bullshit about Syria, Irans so called nuclear weapons, sure as hell reminds me of false flags just to 'steal' a countries natural resources... And heaven forbid a sovereign country doesnt play ball with the globalist agenda!

pun intended.

[I-Man]

Looks like THEY are not ceasing on this "RUSSIA" stuff regarding President/Adminsitration, as more negativity going on against anything Russia in mainstream media.

This may well fall to 4.00 or even 3.00 level now looking at chart with so dammn much negativity & anamocity out there against Russia...

[I-Man]

Tim, I just looked at X this morning! Unreal. They lost like 50-75% in last couple months.

it's like anything tied to Trump Admin is being unfairly attacked even here in securities industries by Liberal hedge Fund shortseller groups and the like.

I was shocked to see X under 20.00 !!!

[I-Man]

Earnings out- AND it gets shorted down more...

>>>>>>>>>>>

"As a result, with stable production and sales volumes the Group showed an improvement of all financial results by the year's end. Our revenue went up by 9% year-on-year, EBITDA was up by 45% and EBITDA margin reached 24%. It should be noted separately that for the first time since 2011 the Group earned a net profit, attributable to shareholders of Mechel PAO, of 7.1 bln rubles.

"Signing debt restructuring agreements with Russian state banks, which account for 71% of the company's debt portfolio, was a prime achievement. Restructuring conditions put off the maturity of our main body of debt until 2020 with following amortization until April 2022. Loan rates were reconsidered and tied to the key interest rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. Besides, the new agreements provide for a partial interest capitalization, which brings down our current debt service payments.

"The Group's capital expenditure for 2017 is set at 12.5 bln rubles.

"All this considered, the cashflow generated by the Group enables us to service our debt, operate successfully and, if the current favorable market situation holds, begin to decrease our debt burden."

[I-Man]

Fundamentally yes, BUT last 2 days (2) Russian bombers being in US air space 100 miles south of Kodiak Island is very bad thing to see happening; and our US fighters dispatched twice to divert them back across into their air space...

[I-Man]

So recent SEC filing was not completed as of yet, to this new filing saying they need loan to acquire equipment to set into action???


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Expert Council of Russia’s Industry and Trade Ministry’s Industrial Development Fund approved a loan for Mechel’s Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant (ChMK PAO) to implement a project for production of rails, beams and other structural rolls meant for export.

The project’s cost totals 1.52 billion rubles, including 300 million rubles to be loaned by the Industrial Development Fund. The project includes acquiring technological equipment in order to set up manufacturing of products according to European standards on the basis of Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant’s
universal rolling mill.

[I-Man]

Premarket today and last few days "baiting" new retail buyers while major Holder(s) is shortselling on liquidity in normal market it seems now...?

Now with Russia complicit with Syria Dictator not good at all IMHO, and Tillerson meeting with Russian Diplomat, but not Putin, who is angry with US over airstrike. Russia's "Buyers" who include Asia, N. Korea and Middle Eastern regions upsetting Putin right now very much... CAREFUL with your stock here folks ...

[I-Man]

2016 Earnings
will announce (Unconfirmed) April 6, 2017

[I-Man]

MTL received award for coal port...

Good PR but the Isis bomber attack now in Russia yesterday, 1st time ever to my knowledge, PLUS CNN/MSNBC/others constant beating of "Russia" going on very negative globally IMHO....

[I-Man]

LOL. Your charts do not look like charts I use ...

[stocktrademan]

Yeah, Yeah; but that 3.00 level made one hell of a solid foundational support (like 1 big stair step) to recent upmove last few months... Just seems top heavy to me still...??

Looking at the monthly chart may provide a good view from 30000+ feet out the jet window so to speak. I think the big stair step was the smart shorts gettting out of the way of the pending macd or ppo crossup over 0. The warning sign was there for months, even years. There is bullish divergence where the price makes lower lows with the macd or ppo making higher lows. Once the crossing over 0 happens then that will probably be the big stair step to wait to retrace, which it appears to have done with a bottoming tail hammer like candle. There's another moving average golden cross pattern and two moving averages providing support are definitely better than one.



Zooming back in to the weekly, as if taking out some binoculars from the window seat so to speak... The weekly the ppo crossed over 0 and had the big upmove, but notice now today it made that first pullback and is ready to bounce off again. I always keep my eyes open for that first pullback after the macd or ppo crosses over. It is an excellent trade and one can flip through a hundred charts a minute or two, and find one in one sitting usually very quickly. It's not high tech but it works fine and needs no special software or equipment.

[I-Man]

Yeah, Yeah; but that 3.00 level made one hell of a solid foundational support (like 1 big stair step) to recent upmove last few months... Just seems top heavy to me still...??

[stocktrademan]

Earnings pushed back now. Was estimated to be March 31st, now this came out:

2016 Earnings
will announce (Unconfirmed) April 6, 2017

Any problems going on in light of all the negative Russian attack in media??

Hardly would believe that any of the political posturing and face saving combined with media noise would be things that deeply concern those who trade this chart.

It certainly wouldn't be on my bucket list to go see how the political science and journalist people opine today and compare it to how they felt last week to get a blessing to buy the stock or not. Not for any chart from any country here or there really. Perhaps I should go ask Borat as well.

But since I replied, figured to check out the chart and yes right now it is an excellent time to buy it. It might be a good christmas present later.

The chart is making a bull flag with strong moving average support and moving average golden cross patterns...the high volume is signaling the next move up is starting after low volume retracement...the bollinger bands are pinched and starting to release signaling a powerful move upwards is next...people are definitely accumulating this stock and earnings announcements don't show up on the overall weekly for this chart...if I can't point them out obviously on the chart then I don't worry about them...in this case they blend in so its not an issue to me...

Looks like going back to 3.00 substantial support region... I have no position here but watching for moment because I know this stock well after 9 years...

Maybe yahoo Financial's analysts are right 3.00 is price point this year for MTL?

[I-Man]

yahooFinance showing 3.00 level for 2017 as target now...?

PLUS as I said many times, UNLESS the dammn Liberals/Democrats stop going on 24/7 on CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, elsewhere about Russia, negativity will plague anything related to them...

Just my 2 cents worth. I hold no positon. Sold mine a while back near 7.00 before fall off cliff...

[I-Man]

Came within 2 cents of closing that gap Friday. New SEC filing 7am this morning; so will she hold or fall to major support at 3.00 and start run all over again???

[I-Man]

Chart looks like rock falling off cliff now... Only thing to stop this looks like 3.00 area, only strong support left...

[I-Man]

Yes indeed, It always had been in past years... May just drift lower to do so until earnings later in March...?

[Golf4Food]

If they fill that gap its a good thing IMO

[I-Man]

She got ahead of herself on Trump's words.... Still gap at 3.25-4.00 area to trade thru yet....

Problem here, is mention of China's Labor Secretary 48 hours ago saying they are streamling too and elimination like 500,000 jobs/employees as industrial expansion got out of hand and they see reduced outlays now going forward and going to reduce costs & expansion- and MTL supplies lots to China region, and with such statement, to me, sees this being very negative to MTL stock in near term...

[I-Man]

She's going back to 4.00 area it seems...

[I-Man]

If 5.00 fails will collapse to 3.25-4.00 level to close that gap made before any new upward IMO...

[I-Man]

Ouch, seems like this will fall back to 4.00 area gaps at least for now... All of sudden media really blasting Russia on everything... Almost as if you are associated to Russia in any way you are Anti-American...???

That Russian spy ship just seen 70 miles off eastern US coast not helping matters either- Gives some older folks feelings of Cuba Missile Crisis...

[I-Man]

I'd like to be. I want to be. I am long term, but she looks so dammn top heavy and barely clinging on that 6.00 line for weeks.... and those pesky gaps created below around 4.00-5.25 area really bugging me...

[Timothy Smith]

Lots of things to be optimistic here.

[I-Man]

Yes Airair, and seeing what is happening even after DOW cleared 20K, I feel those pesky gaps at 4.00 & 5.25 areas will close technically first before anything new occurs unfortunately... Knowing MTL for some years now, it always trades through any gap no matter what. Even back in 2008-2009 housing collapse caused by fkng criminal bankers MTL made wild swings sometimes within a day to close them, wiping out stops, then reversing to continue on same session...

[I-Man]

yes I too took some profits recently here as I owned since 1.30 area anyway... But not seeing it able to break above 7.00 area many times, has me thinking worried from another poster who asked about previous gaps at 1.80 & 4.00 areas now???

[I-Man]

Made new 52 week highs today ...

[I-Man]

April 2013 is 10.00 resistance level technically and bull flag ahs shown on recent movement, so if I am correct, coupled with what MTL has done the last 3 years, this could well clear that $10.00 level this week and beyond finally.. I still stand by this is a $50.00 stock or more knowing MTL as intimately as I do...

[I-Man]

Hey all that's me on screen this am. Tired of this thing in channel 5.90-6.00 for weeks. I needed to draw some cash off from owning this from 2's, so put in premarket order to sell some of what I possess and moved this back up to 6.oo... NOW it's important for you all to keep this thing up from here, LOL...Have a good day.

[I-Man]

2016 Earnings will announce (Unconfirmed) March 30, 2017

Analysts (5) concensus expect a Positive .32 earnings beat...

[I-Man]

GOlf as I posted many times, Russia did nothing wrong! It is today's Liberal Democrat Socialists that are using any type smoke & mirrors to sway public opinion and those dumb enough to listen to them.. So they can try to keep a broken failed status-quo system going in DC. That all will end with Mr. Trump.

Tonight in fact, 10:00PM EST, Julian Assange from WikiLeaks will have a rare face to face interview with Sean Hannity on TV and already has stated adamantly- WikiLeaks Info DID NOT come from Russian sources at all !!!

I would not be surprised he releases info showing these sick Liberals today were trying to hack into others and their game is revealed and up- Why all of sudden you see Donna Brazille and others all of sudden changing their demeanors and act like they are now moderates supporting some of Trump's changes...

[Golf4Food]

Just about touched the 50 ma... recent gap almost closed. I hope obomas newest BS with russia doesnt impact this stock...

[I-Man]

doebop. I believe so too; especially after yesterday and with Putin doing what he did, blindsiding Liberals in US still in denial about our new elected President.... As I posted last couple years, this corp did what it had to reorganize itself for future and NEVER, I repeat, NEVER hurt shareholders or bondholders in the process as every other US corp has done since Obama's term of 8 years. MTL right now is beyond its past, everything reorganized and in place, and increased performance showing and increased contracts to Asian & European Buyers of its product... How come Asia or Europe isn't doing that to US product (X, AKS, et al) you have to ask yourself???

[I-Man]

Couple small gaps showing on 10 day charts up to 6.20 area may well swing quickly to close/trade thru and then settle for holidays... I have seen this stock make 2.00 moves in minutes before continuing on a set trend it may be in.

[I-Man]

Trucker, being collared at 6.00 level for many days it seems...?

[I-Man]

I believe they are trying to drive people out of stock trying to sell it down today like this to free up shares.. Otherwise this should be up big league as Mr. Trump would say...

[I-Man]

Good most certainly, then stock gets shorted again.... This is one amazing company that ahs done what they have over the last 3-4 years and for some reason, seems to be kept down at such low levels...

They NEVER entertained a BK even when MANY USA company's did wasting all shareholders in the process...

[Golf4Food]

very good!
