3-Month Forecast: Based on the provided data, the stock is expected to remain range-bound in the near term. Technically, the recent price of $1.80 is below the 200-day SMA of $2.31, indicating potential bearish pressure. However, the 20-day and 50-day SMAs are converging at $1.85, suggesting consolidation. The ATR of $0.06 reflects low volatility, which may limit significant price movements. Fundamentally, the forward P/E of 3.19 signals potential undervaluation, though the current P/E of 36.00 and low RoE of 2.50% highlight profitability challenges. The P/B ratio of 0.42 further supports the undervaluation thesis. Overall, the stock may experience sideways trading with a slight downside risk in the next three months, but improving earnings could drive upside momentum.
