    • The business fundamentals of the stock remain stable. Stronger near term results will build interest in the stock. We suggest to wait for a upturn in business performance.
    • Technically, the stock remains below its 50 DMA 20.51 and is trading at 20.2. Shows a near term lack of buying interest.
    • Thus, overall we retain a HOLD on the stock.
