STEC stock recently rose 8% following the submission of a compliance plan to Nasdaq, but it remains under pressure due to its struggle to meet the minimum bid requirement, with shares currently trading around $0.64. Bullish sentiment hinges on the company's ability to regain compliance and stabilize its financials, which could drive a recovery toward $0.80 in the short term. However, the stock's volatility and low price point make it a speculative play.
