3-Month Forecast:

Based on and , Sasol Limited (NYSE:SSL) is expected to face near-term challenges due to its current stock price trending below its 20-day and 50-day moving averages (SMA 20: 3.51, SMA 50: 4.00). The stocks average true range (ATR) of 0.18 indicates low volatility, suggesting a potential sideways or slightly bearish movement in the short term. However, its forward P/E ratio of 7.81 and low price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 0.29 suggest undervaluation, which could attract value investors.

Technically, if SSL fails to break above its SMA 50 (4.00), it may test lower support levels, potentially reaching 3.20 by the end of the third month. Fundamentally, the companys negative return on equity (RoE: -48.50) raises concerns about profitability, but its diversified product portfolio and strategic initiatives in sustainable energy could offset risks in the medium term. Overall, the stock is expected to remain under pressure but with potential for modest recovery if macroeconomic conditions improve.
