Strong Recent EPS Performance
Recent quarterly EPS estimates have been significantly exceeded, with the Q1 2025 estimate of $0.07 reported at $0.05 (a -35.71% surprise), and Q1 2024 estimate of $0.12 reported at $0.41 (a 245.0% surprise), indicating strong upside potential in earnings.
Attractive P/E Ratio
The trailing twelve-month (TTM) Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio is 13.20, which is generally considered attractive, especially when compared to historical averages or industry peers.
Potentially Overvalued based on Short-Term Technicals
While the P/E is attractive, short-term technical indicators (e.g., on the 1h and 4h charts) show RSI values above 70 (80.11% and 75.64% respectively) and Stochastic %K above 80 (90.44% and 96.34% respectively), suggesting the stock may be overbought in the short term and prone to a pullback.
Inconsistent EPS Growth
While some quarters show significant positive surprises, others (like Q2 2025 and Q2 2023) showed substantial negative surprises (-35.71% and -47.78% respectively), indicating volatility and potential inconsistency in earnings growth.
