Given the current price of $18.3 and the RSI at 26.563, which indicates the stock is oversold, it may seem attractive. However, the forward P/E ratio of 6.5359 suggests that the stock is still relatively expensive compared to its earnings potential. The significant risk lies in the high debt-to-equity ratio of 735.88%, which could impact financial stability in a rising interest rate environment.
