Arko Corp. is not a strong buy right now due to its current price of $4.10, which is significantly below the analyst price target of $7. However, the stock has a low price-to-sales ratio of 0.067, indicating potential undervaluation. The main risk is the recent earnings report showing a significant EPS surprise of -73.33%, which reflects ongoing challenges in its retail business.
