Right now, ACCS’s stock is trading at $11.61. The technical indicators are showing a mixed pattern because the price is holding relative to both the 50-day ($11.91) and 200-day ($10.08) moving averages. This suggests the stock has been gaining momentum recently. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 42.8 is Neutral—neither overbought nor oversold—while the MACD indicator shows a neutral trend, meaning there could be some minor pullbacks before the next upward move.
Over the past year, ACCS’s stock has traded between $7.79 and $13.35, which tells us two things: First, investor sentiment has been mixed. Second, the current price is trading mid-range, meaning big swings are less likely unless something major happens. Analysts expect modest growth ahead, with a 1-year target of $4.32 (-62.8%) and an average consensus target of $14.00 (+20.6%). Plus, with 41.63% institutional ownership and very low short interest (0.08% (Low Bearish Bets)), it seems most big investors are betting on the company’s long-term success rather than a decline.

Profitability Growth
An analysis of the key metrics in ACCS’s margin performance suggests the company faces significant margin pressure. The company is successful in controlling its production costs, as shown by the gross margin of 76.34%, and it also profits well from its core operations, reflected in the -9.37% operating margin. A 4.20% EBITDA margin indicates ACCS is capable of generating strong cash flow from its operations before accounting for financing and tax strategies. All things considered, ACCS can hold onto around $-22.940 in net profit for every $1 of its revenue over the last twelve months. While the business’s revenue is increasing at a slow rate (-1.70%), investors should monitor if this pace can be sustained without eroding profit margins.
ACCS’s 964.00 K in EBITDA and 17.53 M in gross profit indicate its raw earning power, while the -13.26 M in net income reveals how effectively it converts that power into bottom-line results. The company appears to be balancing its pursuit of growth with the need to maintain profitability. Despite healthy gross margins, there is a significant difference between the company’s gross and net margins (76.34% vs. -22.94%). This is likely due to high operating expenses, interest costs, or taxes, which are key areas for investors to watch. In the future, maintaining steady or improving margins will be critical. ACCS needs to defend its pricing power and control operating costs, as this will help sustain profitability, especially if revenue growth moderates.
Profit Margin (TTM) | -22.94% |
Operating Margin (TTM) | -9.37% |
Gross Margin (TTM) | 76.34% |
EBITDA Margin (TTM) | 4.20% |

Analyst Insights
Here’s the consensus from Wall Street analysts on ACCS. The average recommendation is ‘None’. This consensus is based on opinions from 2 analysts(s). Targets average $14.00 (within a range of $13.00 – $15.00). Based on the mean target ($14.00), this implies a potential upside of ~20.6% from the current price ($11.61). This reflects overall analyst sentiment on the stock’s outlook.
Financial Health
ACCSs financial data clearly shows that strengths and weaknesses can appear together. The ROE and ROA of -40.14% and -1.94%, respectively, reflects that the company is not very efficient with its capital, and such numbers are usually found in established, stable firms. The 0.13x Debt/Equity ratio (with 4.17 M in debt and 4.10 M in cash) points to the fact that ACCS has taken on a manageable debt load to fuel its operations and growth. Even with its debt, the company’s ability to bring in 2.92 M in operating cash flow (TTM) proves that its core business can steadily produce cash, which is a significant strength.
The Current Ratio of 0.75x and Quick Ratio of 0.56x show potential liquidity issues that might cause trouble if the company’s cash cycle lengthens. Furthermore, ACCS’s 4.86 M in levered free cash flow suggests it can still generate significant cash for shareholders even after meeting its financial obligations.
Return on Equity (ROE TTM) | -40.14% |
Return on Assets (ROA TTM) | -1.94% |
Debt/Equity (MRQ) | 0.13x |
Total Cash (MRQ) | 4.10 M |

Technical Analysis Summary
CURRENT PRICE: $11.61 | TREND: BULLISH BUT SHOWS SIGNS OF SLOWING
The stock has faced downward pressure, losing -4.44% in the last 15 days. We need to analyze the technicals to see if this is a buying opportunity or a warning of further declines. Let’s break down the key levels.
Trend Strength – Still Bullish
ACCS is trading above its key moving averages, which confirms the uptrend remains intact. The 20-day SMA at $12.01 is acting as immediate dynamic support.
What This Means for Traders?
As long as ACCS holds above the 20-day SMA ($12.01), the bullish momentum could continue. However, a rapid rise can push the stock far from its averages, increasing the risk of a pullback.
Momentum Check – Is Momentum Fading?
The RSI at 42.8 is in a neutral zone, indicating balanced momentum. At the same time, the MACD histogram is negative, suggesting that the upward momentum is beginning to fade.
Trading Strategy:
This neutral RSI reading provides flexibility. Watch for a decisive MACD crossover or a break of a key support/resistance level for the next directional clue.
Bollinger Bands – Testing Key Levels
The price has broken below the lower Bollinger Band ($11.66), indicating strong selling pressure and a potential breakdown. Watch for signs of capitulation or reversal.
Key Levels to Watch:
- Resistance: $13.10 (Recent High) → A breakout could push ACCS higher.
- Support: $12.01 (20-day SMA) → If this breaks, expect a test of $11.66.
Volume Trends – Checking for Conviction
Trading volume is near its recent average, providing neutral confirmation of the current price action.
Support & Resistance – The Trading Plan
Trading Plan:
- ✅ If ACCS holds above $12.01 → Bullish trend continues, next target $13.10.
- ⚠️ If it breaks below $12.01 → Expect a dip toward $11.66.
- 🛑 A drop below $11.66 → Could trigger a deeper correction to the 200-day SMA ($10.08).
Final Verdict – Should You Buy, Hold, or Sell?
Bottom Line: The technicals suggest the rally may be running out of steam short-term. While the long-term trend remains bullish, a correction seems plausible before the next major move. Trade carefully and wait for confirmation at key levels.
Short Selling Info
There is currently 2 K worth of short interest in ACCS, and the short ratio (or days to cover) is 0.2x. This means that at the stock’s recent average trading volume, it would take about one day for all short positions to be covered. This low level suggests that short sellers do not currently have significant control over the stock’s price, and the risk of a prolonged ‘short squeeze’ is relatively low.
With 0.08% of the public float sold short, a very low percentage of the available shares are being shorted, indicating a general lack of bearish sentiment among investors. This level has decreased recently from 7 K, suggesting a shift in bearish sentiment. Because the amount of investors shorting is generally low, the market tends to feel more confident and the risks of price swings from sudden short-covering activities are reduced.
Shares Short | 2 K |
Short Ratio (Days To Cover) | 0.20x |
Short % of Float | 0.08% |
Shares Short (Prior Month) | 7 K |
Short Date | 2025-07-15 |
Stock Price Statistics
When looking at the price range over the past year, the stock has seen a high of $13.35 and a low of $7.79. This wide gap tells us the stock has been through significant fluctuations, likely influenced by market sentiment or company-specific news. Currently, the 50-day moving average at $11.91 is above the 200-day moving average of $10.08. This ‘golden cross’ setup is often viewed as a bullish signal, indicating positive long-term momentum.
With a beta of 0.71x, the stock tends to be less volatile than the broader market, moving about 29% less. Combined with a moderate 30-day annualized volatility of 31.0%, it’s clear this stock sees frequent price swings. For investors, this means potential for gains, but also higher downside risk. These indicators matter when deciding position sizing or entry timing, especially if you’re managing a portfolio that balances stability with growth exposure.

52 Week Low | $7.79 |
50 Day MA | $11.56 |
200 Day MA | $9.92 |
