Outlook
While today’s price movement might signal short-term speculative interest or reaction to positive developments, the stock’s underlying fundamentals remain challenged. Investors will be closely watching for clarity on the company’s monetization strategies, network expansion, and efforts to reduce its massive debt burden.
Unless backed by strong business performance or regulatory support, this rally could be short-lived.
