For Moonpig Group Ordinary Shares (LSE:MOON)’s share price, some hope currently looks justified if it sticks its nose above 290p.
Such a flamboyant gesture is liable to trigger gains to an initial - very confident and lacking profit - 293.5p, but our longer-term secondary, should such a level be exceeded, calculates at a future 328p. Quite a useful proposition.

Apparently, a longer-term 363p could also provide a useful third level ambition, something about which we lack confidence currently.
Our conclusion is that Moonpig will prove interesting, needing below 206p to spoil our optimism.
