Quicken.comZusammenfassung:Bei Optika ist endlich der berühmte Knoten geplatzt. Das sieht man im Wochenchart ganz deutlich. Unter vergleichsweise gigantischen Umsätzen schoss die Aktie diese Woche nach oben und hielt sich knapp über Wochenhoch, ein gutes Zeichen, das gerechtfertigt ist! Denn Optika arbeitet im dritten Quartal wieder profitabel, will dies auch im vierten tun und hält an den Jahresprognosen fest. Weiterhin wurde noch ein Vertrag mit der Firma "Group 1 Software" geschlossen, die OptikaProdukte an einige ihrer über 3ooo Kunden weiterverkaufen wird.
Fazit:Das Unternehmen ist gesund, der Chart sieht nach Ausbruch aus der großen W-Formation aus. Deshalb rate ich die Aktie mit
mittelfristig Strong Buy - Kursziel $1o,3o.
