3-Month Forecast (based on and ):

From a technical perspective, SYT is currently trading above its SMA 20 and SMA 50 (3.42 vs. 3.19 and 3.13, respectively), suggesting short-term bullish momentum. However, the SMA 200 of 4.03 indicates longer-term downward pressure. The ATR of 0.07 signals low volatility, suggesting stable price movement in the near term. Support levels are expected to hold around the SMA 50 (3.13), while resistance may emerge near the SMA 200 (4.03). Traders should monitor for potential consolidation or a breakout above 4.03.

From a fundamental perspective, Softing AG’s market cap of 38.36M EUR reflects its small-cap status, with a P/B ratio of 0.68 indicating undervaluation relative to book value. The P/S ratio of 0.33 suggests cheap valuation, though this may also reflect limited revenue growth. The negative RoE of -22.70 highlights profitability challenges, which could weigh on investor sentiment. Overall, the stock may remain range-bound in the short term, with upside limited by weak earnings and downside supported by its low valuation multiples.
