Considering the fundamental data, the companys Market Cap stands at $13.5 billion, with a P/E ratio of 30.13 and a Forward P/E of 18.62, suggesting a potential for growth. The high Return on Equity (RoE) of 85.57% indicates the companys ability to generate profits from shareholder equity.

Based on the technical and fundamental data, a potential forecast for WMGs stock could be that it may continue to face downward pressure in the short term, potentially testing its 52-week low of $25.89. However, if the companys strong RoE and growing revenue from its diverse music catalog and streaming services continue, it may eventually recover and potentially surpass its 52-week high of $35.87. A key level to watch would be the SMA20 at $26.66, as a break above this level could indicate a reversal in the downtrend. Conversely, a failure to break above this level may lead to further declines.
