Conclusion

Ooma Inc.’s performance has been in an uptrend for the past few years but there are concerns over the weak outlook and OOMA stock’s 45.30% drop in the last six months. Given the stock's considerable price fluctuation over the last year and poor outlook, we propose a "Watch" rating on the stock at its current price of USD 13.01 on April 29, 2022, at 7:45 am PDT.
