The return of the holidays has many surprises in store for the interests of small and medium investors and that can induce them to modify your investment portfolio for the third quarter of the year. This year there have been too many events in August to change the value of their prices while you were at the beach or another place of recreation and leisure. In this way, there is no doubt that this vacation return will bring you more than one surprise.
The month of August of this year has been somewhat atypical and this fact has been transferred to the equity markets. In particular, in a series of stocks that have experienced a very dynamic dynamism and with an intensity above normal. If you are invested in these companies, you will have no choice but to change your investment strategy if you want to make your savings profitable from now on.
In other cases, you will find yourself with a much lower stock value than before you left on your long-awaited summer vacation. Although you do not think that they are real business opportunities, but on the contrary they have been the effect of events that investors did not expect, much less this summer. All this, at a time when the Dow Jones it has once again beaten its all-time highs to the surprise of many small and medium investors. In a continuous way since 2010 when the economic crisis ended and where investors have made a lot of money in their operations on the stock market.
Holidays: ACS has depreciated
The construction company has been left in the month of August almost 5% as a result of the incident that occurred in the Italian city of Genoa. Not surprisingly, he is a partner of the concessionaire of the highway where the collapsed bridge was located. Given what may happen, it cannot be ruled out that the price of its shares may depreciate in the coming weeks. In any case, it is one of the values in which you will have noticed the most changes since July. To the point that it will be necessary to adjust the investment strategy, whatever you use at the moment.
BBVA under the Turkish effect
Anyway, the big news of the year has been the economic crisis generated in Turkey and which has led the Spanish bank's shares to lose a very important part of their value on the stock market. If you are invested in this stock market proposal, there is no doubt that you will have had a great surprise when you return from your vacation. And of course not very positive but on the contrary you will try to find a solution to correct this incidence in the financial markets. Because it is a crisis that is far from over, but on the contrary, it can worsen at any time.
Inditex very exposed to Turkey
Another of the great surprised in this period have been the investors of the textile company due to its notable exposure to the Ottoman country and that may lead to a new cut in their prices. Anyway, it has been one of the most punished values of equities in this holiday period, with decreases above 3%. Not surprisingly, this important fact may affect the income statement of the Galician company. With the risk of new and powerful depreciations in the valuation of their prices. In any case, it is not the best of times to take positions in one of the most relevant blue chips on the Spanish stock market.
IAG and the rise in the price of crude oil
Nor can it be forgotten that during the month of August there was a notable revaluation in the price of oil. And one of the great losers of this trend is the airline group IAG that has seen how its growth expectations for the coming months have blurred in these weeks. But in everything, it is another of the values that will have to be watched in the return of the holidays because it has a long downward path when moving in a short and medium-term bearish channel.
Quite the opposite of the scenario presented by the big oil of the world. With an upward journey if black gold continues with the same trend as up to now. In what has become one of the few positive surprises of this difficult summer that we have had this year. With target prices well above the current prices they present in the equity markets. In any case, it is a value to take into account in the last part of the year.
Tourist values down
Another of the big losers of this summer are the so-called tourist values. The reason must be found in the drop in tourists to Spain, which have been reduced by almost 3%. A factor that has been used by investors to get out of their positions. With a notable drop in prices during August and despite the fact that it was one of the most recommended values by financial analysts. In a movement that can be directed to the highest term and that a certain slowdown in tourist flows is expected from now on.
With a great risk that you could lose a part of the invested savings. Not surprisingly, at the moment this class of stocks are showing a certain weakness and do not have the strength of the preceding years. To the point that a good part of the financial analysts have recommended abandoning the positions. Going from buying to selling. Especially with regard to hotel accommodations and travel agencies, which are the segments most likely to develop a downward trend in the coming months. Despite the possible rallies that their prices may experience and that can mislead more than one investor.
