Corteva Inc (CTVA) is not a strong buy at the moment for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy. While the company has positive catalysts like strong EBITDA growth and upcoming spin-offs, the risks associated with the separation and mixed analyst sentiment make it prudent to hold off on buying right now. The technical indicators are neutral, and the options data suggests limited bullish sentiment. Additionally, the company's recent financial performance shows declining revenue, which raises concerns for long-term growth.
The technical indicators are mixed. The MACD is negative and expanding, suggesting bearish momentum. RSI is neutral at 54.849, and moving averages are bullish (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200). The stock is trading near its pivot level of 74.11, with key resistance at 75.944 and support at 72.276.
