SSP is not a good buy right now. Price action is weak and sitting right on near-term support (~3.32) after a -3.47% regular-session drop, with bearish momentum still present (negative MACD). With no Intellectia buy signal to override the tape and fundamentals recently deteriorating (sharp YoY revenue decline and deeper losses), the risk of a support break outweighs the upside for an impatient buyer. I would avoid/new-buy here (or sell/step aside) until price reclaims the pivot ~3.52–3.72 with improving momentum.
Trend/momentum remains pressured. MACD histogram is negative (-0.0126) and still below zero (bearish), though contracting (downtrend may be losing force but has not reversed). RSI(6) at 34.9 is near oversold but still reads as weak/fragile rather than a confirmed bounce. Moving averages are converging, consistent with indecision after a drop (not a clear uptrend). Key levels: immediate support S1 ~3.32 is essentially current price (3.34 post-market); a break risks S2 ~3.20. Bulls need a reclaim above the pivot ~3.52, then resistance zones at ~3.72 and ~3.85 to turn the setup constructive.
while expecting continued broadcast/FCC-driven consolidation dynamics into 2026, which could improve sentiment for the space. Call-heavy options flow/open interest suggests traders are positioning for upside. Upcoming earnings: QDEC 2025 results on 2026-02-25 after hours (potential event-driven catalyst if results/guide surprise positively).
Recent operating performance deteriorated sharply (revenue down materially YoY, losses widened), which can cap rallies and raise downside sensitivity into earnings. No supportive news flow in the past week, and there are no strong institutional/insider accumulation signals reported.
Latest reported quarter: 2025/Q3. Revenue fell to $525.854M (-18.64% YoY). Profitability worsened: net income was -$49.021M (down -248.40% YoY), EPS -0.42 (down -244.83% YoY). Gross margin declined to 33.72 (down -24.83% YoY). Overall, the quarter shows negative growth and deteriorating margins/profitability—fundamentals are currently a headwind rather than a support for an immediate buy.
Recent Street change: On 2026-01-22, Wells Fargo raised the price target to $3.90 from $3.00 and maintained an Equal Weight rating. Pros (Wall St. view): potential industry consolidation tailwinds; view that fears of status quo persisting are overdone; constructive fundamentals in the broadcast context per Wells. Cons: the rating remains neutral (Equal Weight, not a Buy), and the company’s latest quarter showed significant YoY declines in revenue, margins, and earnings—making it harder to justify aggressive upside expectations. Influential/political flows: no recent congress trading data available; hedge funds and insiders are reported as Neutral with no significant recent trends.
