Trading Hikma Pharma – An Example

Let’s say you think that Hikma results are likely to be good, and the share price is likely to rise. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Hikma using CFDs, at the current price of 1770p. To do this, you need £2,000.

For the purpose of this example, let’s assume Hikma reports strong results and the shares rise 10%. Your profit would be £1000, from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the position, and place a stop-loss 3% below the current price. Hikma results miss, it falls 3% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £300.
