On Friday, Sundial Growers Inc. (NASDAQ:SNDL) shares surged more than 20% after reporting its most recent quarterly results.

However, Sundial’s announcement of a C$100 million share repurchase program helped to drive the stock price higher.

The company posted fiscal third-quarter net revenue of $6.45 million, missing the consensus for analyst expectations of $$12.99 million. Its gross revenue of $11.02 million reflected a Y/Y decline of 29%.

Is it time to bet on Sundial shares?

From an investment perspective, Sundial Growers shares trade at a steep P/S ratio of 40.96 and a reasonable P/B ratio of 1.26, making the stock an interesting option for value investors.

In addition, analysts expect its earnings per share to grow by 100% next year, bouncing back from this year’s forecast decline of 63.70%.

Therefore, long-term investors could find the stock as an exciting option for their portfolios.

Technically, Sundial Growers shares seem to have recently spiked to complete an upward breakout from a sideways channel formation. As a result, the stock has rallied deep into overbought conditions, pushing the price above the 100-day moving average.

Therefore, investors could target short-term pullbacks at about $0.77, or lower at $0.65. On the other hand, if the rally continues, Sundial shares could find solid resistance at $0.96, or higher at $1.06.

Could be time to take some profits

In summary, although Sundial Growers shares are yet to retest this year’s highs despite the recent spike, the stock trades at a steep P/S ratio whilst expecting EPS to decline substantially this year.

Therefore, with the stock trading deep into overbought conditions, it could be time for profit-takers to swoop in.
