WEST is not a good buy right now for an impatient buyer. The stock is extended (RSI ~78.8) and trading right into near-term resistance (R2 ~4.933) after a sharp move, which raises the odds of a near-term pullback or churn. I would HOLD/avoid chasing at ~4.89 and only consider buying on a dip closer to the 4.62–4.42 support zone where risk/reward improves.
Trend/price action: Bullish momentum is present (MACD histogram +0.0333 and expanding), and price is holding above the pivot (4.617) and above R1 (4.812), but it is now pressing into R2 (4.933), a spot where upside can stall. Momentum: RSI_6 at 78.786 indicates the move is stretched/overbought short-term (despite the prompt calling it neutral), which often precedes consolidation or a pullback. Moving averages: Converging MAs suggest the trend is improving but not yet a clean, strong trend structure. Key levels: Support = 4.617 then 4.423; Resistance = 4.933. With price ~4.89, you’re closer to resistance than support, which is unfavorable for a ‘buy-now’ entry. Pattern-based projection: Similar-pattern stats imply ~-0.11% next day, +1.07% next week, +7.4% next month—supportive medium-term, but not ideal for an immediate chase.
Intellectia Proprietary Trading Signals
Insiders are buying aggressively (buying amount up ~5526% over the last month), a strong confidence signal.
Revenue growth is very strong in the latest reported quarter (2025/Q3 revenue +60.66% YoY), supporting a longer-horizon recovery narrative.
Technical momentum (positive, expanding MACD) suggests buyers are still in control near-term.
and price is near resistance (R2 ~4.933), increasing pullback risk if buying ‘right now’.
Latest quarter: 2025/Q3. Revenue rose to ~$354.8M (+60.66% YoY), indicating strong top-line growth. Profitability: Net income was still negative (-$19.0M) but improved vs prior year (loss narrowed ~34.18% YoY). EPS improved to -$0.20 (+25% YoY). Quality of growth: Gross margin fell to ~11.67% (-30.49% YoY), a key concern—growth is coming with heavier margin pressure.
Recent trend: Analysts maintained positive ratings (Benchmark: Buy; Telsey: Outperform) but cut price targets meaningfully (Benchmark $11->$8 on 2025-11-14; Telsey $10->$7 on 2025-11-07). Wall Street pros: Continued belief in operational expansion/production ramp and longer-term upside. Wall Street cons: Price-target cuts and explicit concern around potential key-customer loss, plus margin pressure, imply higher execution risk and reduced confidence in near-term upside at current levels. Politicians/congress: No recent congress trading data available in the last 90 days.
