The stock is also below its 200-day SMA of $25.09, indicating a bearish trend in the medium to long term.

On the fundamental side, the company has a market cap of $422.92 million, with a trailing P/E ratio of 62.39 and a forward P/E ratio of 18.35. The P/B ratio of 2.06 indicates that the stock is trading at a premium to its book value, while the P/S ratio of 0.64 reflects a reasonable valuation relative to its revenue. However, the return on equity (RoE) of -0.54% raises concerns about profitability. Over the next three months, the stock is likely to face resistance at its 20-day and 50-day moving averages, with potential support near its current price levels. The high trailing P/E ratio could pressure the stock if earnings fail to meet expectations, while the forward P/E suggests optimism about future performance. The negative RoE may weigh on investor sentiment unless the company demonstrates improvement in profitability.
