How to Spread Bet on AstraZeneca? |
If you are looking to invest in companies such as AstraZeneca then one solution could be spread betting on the AstraZeneca share price.
Looking at a spread trading website like capital spreads, we can see that they are valuing the AstraZeneca Rolling Daily market at 2949.5p - 2953.5p. Therefore, an investor can spread trade on the AstraZeneca share price:
 Going higher than 2953.5p, or
 Going lower than 2949.5p
When spread trading on UK shares you trade in £x per penny. Therefore, if you staked £2 per penny and the AstraZeneca shares move 20p then that would be a difference to your profits (or losses) of £40. £2 per penny x 20p = £40.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no settlement date for this market. If a trade is still open when the markets close at the end of the day, it will roll over to the next trading day.
If a trade is rolled over and you are spread betting on the market to:
Increase - then you are charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Decrease - then you'll often receive a small payment to your account
You can find more on Rolling Daily Markets, as well as a fully worked example, in our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
AstraZeneca Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Trading Example |
Now, if you continue with the above spread of 2949.5p - 2953.5p and make the assumptions:
- You've completed your stock market analysis, and
- Your analysis leads you to feel the AstraZeneca share price will move above 2953.5p
Then you might decide to buy a spread bet at 2953.5p and risk, for the sake of argument, £3 per penny.
With such a bet you make a profit of £3 for every penny that the AstraZeneca shares go higher than 2953.5p. Having said that, such a bet also means that you will make a loss of £3 for every penny that the AstraZeneca market goes below 2953.5p.
Looked at another way, if you were to buy a spread bet then your P&L is calculated by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by the stake.
With this in mind, if after a few hours the shares started to rise you might decide to close your position so that you can secure your profit.
Taking this a step further, if the market rose then the spread could change to 2997.8p - 3001.8p. You would settle your position by selling at 2997.8p. So, with the same £3 stake you would calculate your profit as:
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
Trading shares, by spread betting or otherwise, is not always simple. In the above example, you wanted the share price to rise. Of course, the share price can also fall.
If the AstraZeneca stock began to fall then you could close your position in order to limit your losses.
If the market fell to 2913.6p - 2917.6p you would sell back your position at 2913.6p. If so, that would mean you would lose:
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 spread betting price correct as of 19-Oct-12.
