From an investment perspective, QuantumScape shares trade at a steep P/B ratio of 6.89, making the stock less attractive to value investors. However, analysts expect the company’s earnings per share to grow by 89% this year.
Therefore, it could potentially be on growth investors’ radar.
However, although QS shares are down more than 53% this year, the stock is still up more than 88% over the last 12 months.
Therefore, it may be too early to consider betting on QuantumScape’s promising growth given its current valuation.
Technically, QuantumScape shares seem to be trading within a descending channel formation in the intraday chart. However, the stock also appears to have advanced to trade closer to the 100-day moving average, pushing the price towards the trendline resistance.
In addition, QS shares still trade several levels off oversold conditions, leaving room for more downward movements. Therefore, investors could target extended declines at about $18.88, or lower at $13.86.
On the other hand, if the stock completes an upward breakout, it could find resistance at about $27.89, or higher at $32.54.
In summary, although QuantumScape shares have plummeted by more than 53% this year, the stock is still up more than 88% over the previous 12 months.
Therefore, given the company’s steep valuation multiples, it may be best to wait for the price to retest current support levels before betting on its exciting growth prospects.
