Expro Group Holdings NV (XPRO) is not a strong buy at the moment for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy. Despite some bullish technical indicators, the lack of positive financial performance, hedge fund selling, and mixed analyst ratings suggest a cautious approach. Holding off on buying is recommended until clearer growth signals emerge.
The technical indicators show a mixed picture. The MACD is positive but contracting, RSI is neutral at 55.554, and moving averages are bullish (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200). The stock is trading above its pivot point of 17.063, with resistance levels at 18.38 and 19.193. However, candlestick pattern analysis suggests a 40% chance of a -5.48% decline in the next week.

Barclays recently raised the price target to $21 from $16, maintaining an Overweight rating. The stock is currently trading above its pivot point, and moving averages are bullish.

Financial performance in Q4 2025 was weak, with revenue, net income, EPS, and gross margin all showing significant YoY declines. Piper Sandler downgraded the stock to Underweight, citing valuation concerns and a lack of compelling growth in 2026.
