Risks include market punishment for near-term growth rates and low trading volume, but downside risk is limited due to strong financials and shareholder-friendly trends.

The company specializes in overseeing diagnostic imaging centers, and it experiences steady and consistent revenue growth with decent profit margins. I believe that the second quarter results of fiscal year 2024 were impressive, with a 4.7% increase in revenues to $25.4 million and a 68.4% rise in attributable net income to $3.8 million. Fonar's market capitalization has dropped by more than 20% in the last month, presenting a favorable chance for investment.
FONAR Corporation's shares have declined 8.2% since I last wrote about it, while the S&P 500 gained 10.9%. The company's recent financial results show flatlined revenue and increased costs. Despite the weak performance, FONAR has a strong capital structure and the shares are objectively cheap, making it a potentially good investment. Patience is required in my view.
