How to Spread Bet on AstraZeneca? |
If an investor is looking to invest in UK listed companies like AstraZeneca then one possibility could be to spread trade on the AstraZeneca share price.
Looking at a spread betting website like Financial Spreads, you can see that they are offering the AstraZeneca Rolling Daily market at 2949.5p - 2953.5p. As a result, an investor could put a spread bet on the AstraZeneca shares:
 Going higher than 2953.5p, or
 Going lower than 2949.5p
Whilst spread trading on FTSE 350 shares you trade in £x per penny. As a result, if your stake was £2 per penny and the AstraZeneca share price changes by 20p then that would change your bottom line by £40. £2 per penny x 20p = £40.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
One thing to note is that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no preset settlement date for this market. You do not have to close your trade, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it will just roll over into the next trading session.
Should your spread bet roll over, if you are speculating that the market will:
Increase - then you will pay a small overnight financing fee, or
Decrease - then you will usually receive a small credit to your account
For a fully worked example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
AstraZeneca Rolling Daily - Shares Spread Betting Example |
If you think about the spread of 2949.5p - 2953.5p and make the assumptions that:
- You've analysed the stock markets, and
- Your research leads you to think that the AstraZeneca shares will move higher than 2953.5p
Then you could decide that you are going to buy at 2953.5p for a stake of £3 per penny.
With such a bet you make a profit of £3 for every penny that the AstraZeneca shares go above 2953.5p. Nevertheless, you will make a loss of £3 for every penny that the AstraZeneca market decreases lower than 2953.5p.
Considering this from another angle, should you buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are found by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by the stake.
As a result, if after a few hours the stock rose then you might want to close your spread bet to secure your profit.
As an example, if the market increased then the spread might move to 2997.8p - 3001.8p. To close your position you would sell at 2997.8p. So, with the same £3 stake this trade would result in a profit of:
Your P&L = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Your P&L = (2997.8p - 2953.5p) x £3 per penny stake
Your P&L = 44.3p x £3 per penny stake
Your P&L = £132.90 profit
Speculating on equities, whether by spread betting or not, can go against you. With this example, you wanted the share price to rise. Of course, the share price can also decrease.
If the AstraZeneca shares fell then you could choose to close your position in order to restrict your losses.
So if the market fell to 2913.6p - 2917.6p you would close your spread bet by selling at 2913.6p. Therefore, you would make a loss of:
Your P&L = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Your P&L = (2913.6p - 2953.5p) x £3 per penny stake
Your P&L = -39.9p x £3 per penny stake
Your P&L = -£119.70 loss
Note - AstraZeneca Rolling Daily equities market correct as of 19-Oct-12.
