Is Ambarella stock overvalued?

From an investment perspective, Ambarella shares trade at a steep forward P/E ratio of 112.20, making the stock too expensive for bargain hunters.

In addition, analysts expect its earnings per share to decline by more than 27% this year, before rising by 29% next year.

Therefore, the stock may also not be an ideal option for growth investors.

Technically, Ambarella shares seem to have recently spiked to create an upward price gap in the intraday chart. As a result, the stock has now rallied closer to the overbought conditions of the 14-day RSI.

Therefore, investors could target technical pullback profits at about $188.22, or lower at $171.92, while $227.18 and $245.18, are crucial resistance levels.

In summary, now seems to be a good time to swoop for profits.
