Average Volume 20d: 456506 Last Price: 21.22 SMA 20: 20.30 SMA 50: 21.19 SMA 200: 21.31 ATR: 0.72

3-Month Forecast: Based on the technical and fundamental data, NTCT is expected to face headwinds due to its negative return on equity and a share price hovering near key moving averages. The stocks price of 21.22 is slightly above its SMA20 (20.30) but below its SMA50 (21.19) and SMA200 (21.31), indicating a potential neutral to bearish trend. The low average true range (ATR) of 0.72 suggests manageable volatility. On the fundamental side, the forward P/E of 9.02 signals potential undervaluation, but the lack of profitability (P/E: None) and negative RoE (-27.49) raise concerns about the companys ability to generate earnings. Over the next three months, NTCT may experience limited upside unless it demonstrates improved profitability and operational efficiency.
