Not a good buy right now. PPTA is in a sharp pullback (-6% today, -6% pre-market) and is trading below the key pivot (33.19) while momentum is fading (MACD still positive but contracting). With heavy recent insider selling and still pre-revenue, the risk/reward for an impatient buyer is not attractive despite supportive long-term moving averages and bullish options skew. I would hold (or avoid new entries) until price stabilizes back above ~31.06–33.19 or forms a clear reversal from the ~29.75–31.06 support zone.
Trend is still broadly bullish by moving averages (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200), but the current tape is risk-off: price is below the pivot (33.187) and down hard on the day. Momentum is weakening: MACD histogram is above zero (0.0663) but positively contracting, consistent with a bullish trend losing strength. RSI_6 at ~45 is neutral-to-soft, not an oversold bounce signal. Key levels: immediate support S1 ~31.063 (already under pressure) and S2 ~29.751 (next major downside magnet). Resistance is the pivot ~33.187, then R1 ~35.31. For an impatient entry, buying now means catching a falling move into support without a confirmed reversal.
Sector/news tailwind: Pentagon $4.5B investment into critical minerals (supports strategic-minerals developers and the broader theme PPTA sits in). Technical backdrop remains constructive on longer horizons due to bullish MA stack (suggesting the larger uptrend may still be intact if support holds). Options skew is call-heavy (bullish sentiment/positioning).
Price action is currently bearish/unstable (large down day and trading below pivot), and momentum is fading (MACD contracting) without oversold confirmation (RSI ~45). Insiders are selling aggressively (selling amount up ~587.77% over the last month), which is a notable confidence negative. Fundamentals remain pre-revenue and losses worsened materially year-over-year in the latest quarter. No supportive proprietary buy signals today (no AI Stock Picker or SwingMax entry).
Latest quarter: 2025/Q3. The company remains pre-revenue (reported revenue 0). Profitability deteriorated: net income was -25,756,120 (loss increased ~622% YoY) and EPS was -0.24 (declined ~380% YoY, i.e., a larger loss per share). Overall, the latest quarter shows no operating revenue base yet and widening losses, which increases reliance on catalysts/financing and makes the stock more sentiment-driven.
Recent commentary highlights PPTA had traded above the average analyst target (~$33.58) with targets ranging ~$30 to ~$40; after today’s drop to ~$30.22, it’s now near the low end of that range and below the prior average target. Wall Street ‘pros’ view: potential upside tied to strategic-minerals/defense-aligned themes and project optionality (targets up to $40). ‘Cons’ view: valuation/expectation risk when the stock runs ahead of fundamentals, ongoing pre-revenue losses, and execution/financing uncertainty—reinforced by the recent insider selling. Net: mixed-to-cautious; upside case exists, but conviction looks event-driven rather than supported by improving quarterly fundamentals.
