Northern Technologies International Corp is not a good buy right now. The current price is $7.49, and the RSI is at 33.09, indicating oversold conditions but also potential weakness. The forward P/E ratio is 15.92, suggesting that while there may be future earnings potential, the recent net loss of $263,000 in Q3 raises concerns about profitability. Additionally, the gross margin has decreased to 33.63%, down from 38.40% year-over-year, highlighting ongoing challenges. The main risk is the declining gross margin due to rising costs, which could further impact profitability.
