Zentek Surges: Evaluating Momentum and Financial Health

Summary: Zentek has shown impressive recent performance with significant monthly and quarterly growth in both stock price and trading volume. Despite high sales growth rates (Y/Y and Q/Q), the company’s profitability remains a concern with negative ROE and ROI. The low short interest suggests limited squeeze potential but the high relative volume and recent price increases highlight strong market interest.
