Alexander & Baldwin Inc (ALEX) is not a good buy at the moment for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy. The company is undergoing a privatization deal at $21.20 per share, which limits upside potential. Additionally, the financial performance has declined significantly, and there are no strong positive catalysts to justify an investment now.
The technical indicators are mixed. The MACD is below 0 and negatively contracting, suggesting bearish momentum. RSI is neutral at 50.379, and moving averages are bullish (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200). However, the stock is trading near its pivot level of 20.761, indicating limited movement potential.
