Not a good buy right now. TAL’s intermediate trend is bullish, but the stock is extended short-term (RSI_6 77.5) and sitting right under first resistance (12.696) after strong earnings/news. With the pattern-based outlook indicating an elevated near-term pullback risk (80% chance of -4.47% next day), the timing is unfavorable for an impatient entry at current levels (12.67).
Trend is bullish: moving averages are stacked positively (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200), and MACD histogram is positive and expanding (0.134), confirming upward momentum. However, momentum is stretched: RSI_6 at 77.5 signals an overbought/extended condition and raises the odds of a near-term mean reversion. Key levels: Pivot 11.699 (important near-term support), R1 12.696 (price is effectively testing this), R2 13.312 (next upside target if it breaks and holds above R1). Pattern-based projection shows elevated short-term downside risk (next day: 80% chance to -4.47%) despite a more constructive 1-month skew (17.25% in the next month).
Intellectia Proprietary Trading Signals
Earnings-driven upside catalyst: Q3 FY2026 results showed strong re-acceleration—revenue up 27% YoY to ~$770.2M, and net income up ~466% YoY to ~$130.6M; non-GAAP EPS beat expectations materially. News flow is decisively positive and supports continuation of the fundamental turnaround. Analyst catalyst: Macquarie upgraded to Outperform with an $18 target and expects ~20% total revenue growth in FY2027, reinforcing the bullish fundamental narrative. Options sentiment is call-skewed (bullish).
Near-term technical/setup risk: RSI is stretched (overbought) and price is pressing against R1 (~12.696), increasing the odds of a pause or pullback even if the broader trend stays up. Quant/pattern read-through flags elevated next-day downside probability (80% chance of ~-4.47%), which is unfavorable for an immediate buy. Positioning signals from hedge funds/insiders are neutral (no strong ‘smart money’ accumulation signal in the provided window). No congress trading data available to confirm external influential buying.
Latest reported quarter: 2026/Q3 (FY2026 Q3). Growth trends are strong and improving: Revenue rose to ~$770.2M (+27% YoY), net income increased to ~$130.6M (+466% YoY), EPS increased sharply (data shows +536% YoY), and gross margin improved to ~56.07% (+6.33% YoY). Overall, profitability and margins are expanding alongside revenue growth—fundamentally supportive for the stock.
Recent analyst trend is improving: on 2026-01-30 Macquarie upgraded TAL from Neutral to Outperform and raised/issued an $18 price target, citing YoY growth in both offline and online learning services and projecting ~20% total revenue growth in FY2027. Wall Street-style pros: accelerating revenue, major earnings beat, margin expansion, improving outlook with an upgrade. Cons: after a strong earnings/news burst, the stock appears technically extended near resistance, making immediate entry less attractive despite the positive longer-term narrative.
