🎯 Investment Thesis

Given the significant decline in financial performance, I recommend a SELL on Atlas Battery Limited. The sharp drop in profitability, declining sales, and challenging market conditions suggest limited upside potential in the short to medium term. The company needs to demonstrate a clear turnaround strategy and improved financial performance before an investment can be considered. Price target dependent on sector relative market evaluation after earnings stabilization.
