Where Is The Trade Level For Hain Celestial

One of the leading organic and natural food products companies in the world is Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAIN). This stock has been trading in a very narrow and sideways range since August 2016. This is when the stock plunged by nearly $20.00 a share. You see, on August 12th, 2016 HAIN stock was trading as high as $56.99 a share, today the stock trades at $35.13 a share.

So where is the trade? The stock should have a major institutional support level around the $30.75 area. This is a level where the stock was supported back in early 2013. It is important to note that prior institutional support levels will often be major buying opportunities when retested. Keep HAIN stock on the radar around this level.

5 or 6 more investigations since market close and now I'm betting a shareholder lawsuit coming soon I bet. Seems to be the status quo lately with these accounting investigations.

$HAIN game plan for tomorrow

$37.80 is a tough line to break here today.

$37 test coming probably before close as it ha struggled all day long for a $.50 bounce off the LOD.

$HAIN nice and steady in PM, looking for a break above $40 with strong volume today.

Looking strong now

May bounce but the bleeding is not over. History teaches the earlier you sell the better no matter how good the company looks. Acc Probl

$37s and holding strong here should be back into the $40s tomorrow!

Tomorrow should be back above $40+

The short cabal is naked selling this thing. I wish I could get invited to their club.

Hain Celestial Announces Record First Quarter Fiscal Year 2016 Results
Thu November 5, 2015 4:00 PM|PR Newswire | About: HAIN

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (HAIN), a leading organic and natural products company with operations in North America, Europe and India providing consumers with A Healthier Way of Life", today reported results for its first quarter ended September 30, 2015.
photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20130502/NY06743LOGO
First Quarter Performance Highlights
•Record first quarter net sales of $687.2 million, a 9% increase over the prior year period or, on a constant currency basis, an 11% increase over prior year adjusted net sales of $642.6 million. Net sales were negatively impacted by $24 million as a result of foreign exchange rate movements versus a year ago.
•Record first quarter earnings per diluted share of $0.30, a 67% increase; adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.37, a 9% increase. Foreign currencies negatively impacted reported results by $0.01 per diluted share.
•Operating income of $57.5 million, 8.4% of net sales; adjusted operating income of $63.2 million, 9.2% of net sales.

"We began fiscal year 2016 with record first quarter net sales and earnings growth. Our diversified portfolio delivered strong growth with contribution from our Hain Pure Protein Corporation segment ("HPPC"), with our FreeBird® and Plainville Farms® brands growing 27%, as well as our international businesses in Canada, Continental Europe and the United Kingdom in constant currency, which collectively grew 22%," said Irwin D. Simon, Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hain Celestial. "Our United States segment growth did not fully meet our expectations, as strong performance from our snacks, yogurt, tea, and personal care brands was overshadowed by temporary disruptions from some of our distributor and retail customers as well as a decline in grocery brands associated with deceleration in the natural channel. We continued to benefit from the diversification of our business across our branded organic and natural product categories, sales channels and geographies, which fueled solid worldwide results in our typically lowest sales and profitability quarter."

First Quarter 2016

The United States segment reported first quarter net sales of $331 million. In the United Kingdom segment, net sales were $165 million. HPPC reported net sales of $124 million, and the Rest of the World segment reported net sales of $67 million. The Company had strong branded sales in constant currency led by Plainville Farms®, Linda McCartney®, Terra®, Alba Botanica®, JASON®, Tilda®, Garden of Eatin'®, Lima®, Yves Veggie Cuisine®, Celestial Seasonings®, The Greek Gods® and FreeBird®. Net sales of Empire®, Kosher Valley®, Joya® and Live Clean® brands acquired during or after the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 also contributed to the sales growth.

The Company earned net income of $31.3 million, a 67% increase, and adjusted net income of $38.2 million, a 10% increase, compared to the prior year first quarter. Earnings per diluted share for the first quarter were $0.30, a 67% increase versus the prior year period. On an adjusted basis earnings per diluted share for the first quarter were $0.37, a 9% increase. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures in this press release for adjustments.

"We remain optimistic about our growth opportunities in fiscal 2016 and beyond. We expect to build momentum throughout the year across our global footprint through the strength of our diversified product portfolio and customer base while investing in our brands and gaining distribution in the important health and wellness category," concluded Irwin Simon.
