One of the Fastest Growing Companies in AdTech After a monster year of growth for Digital Turbine, analysts believe the expansion doesn't stop here. Over the next three years, analysts predict the company will continue to grow EPS at a ~ 45% CAGR while expanding revenue at an average ~ 28% CAGR. Although short-term liabilities outweigh short-term assets like cash and A/R due to acquisitions, it is predicted that the procurements of Fyber, AdColony, and Appreciate will help accelerate Digital Turbine's more prominent and profitable role in the fast-growing and secularly-thriving $200+ billion mobile ad/connected TV marketplace. As for the technicals, we're witnessing a similar setup as the '18-'19 bull run that $APPS experienced. Distribution breakdowns into a falling wedge until volume begins to pick back up (breakdowns are primarily due to the macro environment, not the company's fundamentals). I chose the fiscal Q4 2022 ER date as a rough estimate for when $APPS might break the downtrend. By no means has Digital Turbine reversed course fundamentally, and I'd like the next ER to confirm that. GLTA! (Disclaimer, I am long $APPS with both a long-term position and LEAPS call options).

KBNT Inverse Head & Shoulders KBNT has developed an inverse "Head and Shoulders" pattern this month. This is a strong indicator that the down trend is about to reverse up. After the price crosses the "Neck line" (About $7.43 +/-) it is possible that KBNT will breakout gaining $2.50 in value (The height of the head to neck line) arriving at a potential target price of $9.93. Just my opinion, not financial advice.
