The return on equity (RoE) of 9.06% reflects moderate profitability. Considering the average true range (ATR) of 6.26, the stock is expected to experience volatility within a range of approximately 3-5% over the next three months. Overall, the stock may underperform in the short term but could find support from its high valuation multiples and growth expectations.
