Spark’s Take on DTST Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, DTST is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weaker TTM fundamentals—declining revenue, an operating loss, and negative free cash flow with questionable earnings quality—despite a strong low-debt balance sheet. Technicals are supportive with bullish moving-average structure and positive momentum. Valuation is a modest negative due to a negative P/E and no dividend yield data. The earnings call adds a positive tilt from the CloudFirst sale and strengthened cash position, tempered by elevated SG&A and capital-allocation uncertainty around the tender offer.
