Technically, with the SMA20 at 139.90, SMA50 at 148.70, and SMA200 at 171.10, LSTR is in a bearish trend as the short-term moving average is below the mid-term and long-term averages. The ATR of 5.42 indicates moderate volatility. This suggests potential downside pressure. Fundamentally, with a P/E of 25.09 and forward P/E of 23.20, the stock may be overvalued, but the lower forward P/E indicates potential expectations of improvement. The high P/B of 5.02 and P/S of 1.01, along with an RoE of 20.15, highlight strong profitability but also suggest elevated valuations. Combining these factors, the 3-month outlook may involve increased volatility with possible consolidation or a slight decline, as the market weighs current valuations against future earnings expectations.
