Is XAIR Stock Buy or Sell?
According to the technical indicators, XAIR is currently rated as a Strong Sell. The 20-day EMA for the stock is 0.77, but its share price has dropped to $0.42. However, the Moving Averages Convergence Divergence (MACD) index for Beyond Air Inc. (XAIR) stands at -0.17, indicating a potential Buy.
This divergence in opinion could stem from the stock’s current low price, which might appeal to bargain hunters looking for an undervalued investment. Additionally, the company’s diversification into multiple medical sectors could offer long-term growth opportunities, making it an attractive option for investors willing to take on some risk.
XAIR Stock Market: The Fiscal 1st Quarter’s Earnings
XAIR earnings for the fiscal quarter that ended June 30, 2024, were $0.7 million. For comparison, the company reported $0.1 million in earnings for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023, and $0.5 million for the previous quarter ending March 31, 2024.
For the three months ending June 30, 2024, the cost of revenue stood at $1.0 million, as opposed to $0.3 million for the same period in 2023. Thus, the cost of revenue exceeded the revenue itself. The experts think that the depreciation of LungFit devices caused this downfall.
Expenses related to research and development reached $6.0 million in the three months ending June 30, 2024, while the company spent $4.7 million for the same period in 2023.
The team also noted a reduction in stock compensation expenses by $0.6 million ($0.2 million for Beyond Cancer and $0.4 million for Beyond Air) and a $0.3 million decrease in growth rate costs for Beyond Cancer research, alongside a $0.9 million increase in salaries ($0.3 million for Beyond Air and $0.6 million for Beyond Cancer).
Despite this data, the consensus for this stock is currently a moderate Buy. If it declines further or reports more losses, that rating might change, though. However, its low price and the company’s diversification across various medical sectors may still make it appealing to long-term investors who are willing to take on some risk in the hopes of future growth potential.
