WPRT is not a good buy right now. The chart is firmly bearish (downtrend intact, momentum deteriorating) and there are no Intellectia buy signals to override that. With no near-term news catalysts and Q3 2025 showing a severe revenue contraction alongside deeper losses, the risk/reward for an impatient buyer is unfavorable. Best action: avoid/ sell rather than buy at current levels.
Technical Analysis
Price/Trend: WPRT closed at 1.94 (-3.47%) and is trading below key trend measures with bearish alignment (SMA_200 > SMA_20 > SMA_5), confirming a sustained downtrend.
Momentum: MACD histogram is negative (-0.0252) and negatively expanding, indicating strengthening downside momentum.
RSI: RSI(6) at ~26.9 is oversold (near-term bounce possible), but oversold in a downtrend is not a reliable buy signal.
Levels: The stock is below S1 (1.966), which is now overhead resistance; next support is S2 (1.875). Pivot resistance sits near 2.113, then 2.26.
Pattern-based forward bias: Similar-pattern stats imply a slight bearish drift (60% chance of small declines over 1D/1W/1M).

Bullish
Option Volume Put-Call Ratio
Sentiment/Positioning: Put/Call open interest ratio at 0.37 is call-heavy (bullish leaning), but this is not confirmed by trading activity.
Activity: Options volume is extremely light (only 5 contracts; puts 0), so the volume put/call ratio of 0.0 is not very informative.
Volatility/Pricing: 30D IV ~144% with IV percentile ~94.4 (very elevated), implying options are priced for big moves/uncertainty; this tends to be unfavorable for straightforward long entries unless you have a clear catalyst.

Positive Catalysts
could trigger a short-lived relief bounce. Gross margin improved YoY in 2025/Q3.
Neutral/Negative Catalysts
Primary trend remains bearish with weakening momentum (negative, expanding MACD). Price broke below the 1.966 support area. No news catalysts in the last week. Extremely high implied volatility suggests uncertainty and expensive optionality. Similar-pattern forecast shows a modest bearish bias near-term.
Financial Performance
Latest quarter: 2025/Q3. Revenue fell to 1.62M (-66.84% YoY), indicating a sharp contraction in business scale. Net income was -13.73M (reported as up 254.86% YoY, i.e., a larger loss), and EPS was -0.79 (also worse YoY). Gross margin improved to 20.16 (+75.61% YoY), but the revenue collapse and deeper losses dominate the growth picture.

Analyst Ratings and Price Target Trends
No analyst rating/price target change data was provided, so a current Wall Street consensus view cannot be confirmed from the dataset. Pros (if any) would likely focus on margin improvement/possible turnaround potential; cons are the severe revenue decline, continued losses, and a clearly bearish technical trend.
Wall Street analysts forecast WPRT stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for WPRT is 4.5 USD with a low forecast of 2 USD and a high forecast of 7 USD.
