Our take on Fabrinet small slide

Market Risk Adjusted Performance just dropped to -3.13, may entail upcoming price decline. Fabrinet currently demonstrates below-verage downside deviation. It has Information Ratio of 0.08 and Jensen Alpha of 0.42. However, we do advice investors to further question Fabrinet expected returns to ensure all indicators are consistent with the current outlook about its relatively low value at risk.

Whereas other entities in the electronic equipment industry are either recovering or due for a correction, Fabrinet may not be performing as strong as the other in terms of long-term growth potentials. To conclude, as of the 17th of August 2020, we see that Fabrinet moves indifferently to market moves. The company is overvalued with very low probability of distress within the next 24 months. Our actual 30 days Buy-Hold-Sell recommendation on the company is Cautious Hold.
