Is Lotus Technology Inc. American a good stock to buy right now?+
That depends on valuation and quality together, not either alone. you should weigh LOT's valuation and scores 40/100 on quality (mixed). A cheap price is only a bargain if the business is durable, and a premium can be justified by genuine quality, so the two questions, "is it cheap?" and "is it good?", only make sense side by side. Read the valuation against the quality scorecard, run the DCF on your own assumptions, and decide for yourself. This is analysis from company filings, not investment advice.
