Despite this, the company has experienced a -18.21% fall in its stock price over the last five trading sessions. Seeking Alpha reported 2023-07-13 that I recommend a hold rating for SSU due to expected negative performance in the near term, which will likely limit stock price movements. Despite SSU’s successful transformation into an online sports retail specialist, macroeconomic headwinds in Europe and intense margin pressure from competitors have negatively impacted the company. I suggest investors stay on the sidelines until there is evidence of positive recovery, despite potential long-term upside if SSU meets targets.
