Why should Investors Book Profits?

• Widened Losses: In Q3 FY21, the Company's operating loss was USD 5.54 million compared to USD 2.57 million in Q3 FY20 due to high selling, general and administration overheads.
• Customer Concentration Risk: The Company's primary revenue comes from two customers, and if one of them loses business, the Company's revenue will suffer, posing a liquidity risk.
• Product Assurance Risk: Certain of the Company's recently created products have not yet received market acceptance, and there is a risk of assurance, which might harm financial results.
• Ukraine Tension: The mounting concern over the Russian invasion of Ukraine could have a weigh on the global equity market and valuation. Companies with lower competitive moat could witness panic sell-off on the back of rising uncertainties.
• Long-term Bearish Trend: Despite a significant jump in one trading session, its shares are still trading well below the its crucial long-term support level of 200-day SMA, implies a long-term bearish trend in the stock.

Stock Recommendation:

DSS stocks have been heavily beaten down on the street over the past six months, given its poor financial performance, operating losses and bottom line losses. Further, amid a volatile market condition, it would be wise to stick with fundamentally strong company rather than the weak one.

Also, DSS’s share price mostly tilted towards its 52W Low   (52-week H/L range USD 4.67 and USD 0.33) and trading well below its crucial long-term support level of 200-day SMAs, a long-term bearish trend. Based on the continuous losses, Ukraine crisis, regulation risk, unfavourable technical indicators, and current valuation, we recommend a “SELL" rating on the stock at the closing price of USD 0.66, up ~72%, as of February 28, 2022 at 01:45 PM ET.
