Not a good buy right now for an impatient investor: trend and momentum remain bearish and Intellectia signals show no edge today.
Price (~3.07 pre-market) is sitting below the key S1 support (3.137) and well below the pivot (3.456), increasing the risk of continued downside.
Unless you’re specifically gambling on a pre-earnings bounce, the data favors waiting rather than buying immediately.

Technical Analysis

Intellectia Proprietary Trading Signals
AI Stock Picker: no signal on given stock today.
SwingMax: No signal on given stock recently.
Trend is bearish: moving averages are stacked bearishly (SMA_200 > SMA_20 > SMA_5), indicating a sustained downtrend.
Momentum is weakening: MACD histogram is negative (-0.0603) and expanding lower, which typically supports further downside.
RSI_6 at ~20.1 indicates oversold conditions (despite the provided “neutral” note), which can allow short-lived bounces, but oversold can persist in strong downtrends.
Key levels: Support S1 3.137 (price is below it pre-market), next support S2 2.94; resistance/pivot area 3.456, then R1 3.774.
Pattern-based projection: 70% chance of -1.42% next day, -3.88% next week, -1.97% next month—statistically bearish near-term.

Positive Catalysts

- Oversold RSI may enable a short-term technical rebound if buyers defend the 2.94–3.14 area.
- Earnings event upcoming: 2026-02-13 after hours (can act as a volatility catalyst).
- Revenue growth in 2026/Q1 was very strong YoY (off a small base), which can sometimes attract speculative interest in micro-caps.

Neutral/Negative Catalysts

- Clear bearish technical structure (bearish MA stack + negative/expanding MACD) suggests rallies may fail.
- Price is already below S1 support (3.137), raising the probability of a move toward S2 (2.94).
- Pattern-based forward odds skew negative across next day/week/month.
- No supportive signals from Intellectia (no AI Stock Picker buy / no SwingMax entry).
- No recent news flow to provide a positive narrative catalyst.

Financial Performance

Latest quarter: 2026/Q1.
Revenue: $297K, up +773.53% YoY (likely boosted by a very low prior-year base).
Profitability: Net income - $3.465M (still a sizable loss), though improved +5.70% YoY.
EPS: -2.07, improved +2.99% YoY (still deeply negative).
Gross margin: 63.3%, up +139.14% YoY (margin improved, but overall business remains loss-making).

Analyst Ratings and Price Target Trends

No analyst rating or price target change data provided; no clear “Wall Street” pro/con setup can be inferred from the dataset.
Practical read-through: this trades more like a micro-cap technical/speculative name than an analyst-driven story right now.

Analyst Rating

Wall Street analysts forecast ASTC stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for ASTC is 0 USD with a low forecast of 0 USD and a high forecast of 0 USD.
