Spark’s Take on GB:HTG Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:HTG is a Neutral.

The score is primarily supported by strong 2024 cash flow and a low-leverage balance sheet, plus shareholder-friendly corporate actions (expanded buybacks) and positive strategic developments. Offsetting these strengths are volatile profitability (2024 loss after 2023 profit) and currently soft technical momentum (negative MACD, RSI below 50).
