Majesco (NYSE: MJCO) remains under pressure even on reporting stellar Q2 financial results depicted by strong revenue growth. The company is also fresh from making strategic moves as it seeks to accelerate cloud growth. The company has also embarked on an acquisition drive as it looks to strengthen and affirm its long growth and prospects.
Majesco Price Analysis
The string of positive developments is yet to have the desired impact on the stock’s sentiments in the market. The stock has continued to edge lower in continuation of a sell-off wave that begun mid this year. After consolidating within a tight trading range of between $7 and $8 a share, the stock is yet gain on the receiving end.
A breach of the $7 a share support level, appears to have fuelled the recentsell-off wave. After the recent plunge, the stock faces immediate support at the $6 a share level. A breach of the $6 a share handle would leave the stock vulnerable to further declines with the next stop being the $5 a share level.
For the stock to continue powering high as was the case in the first half of the year, it needs to rally and stabilize above the $7 a share level. Given the strength of the underlying fundamentals, the stock could make a comeback after the recent sell-off.
