This is an established company with proven profits.
An average decline of 18% a year over the last 4 years — the most striking risk in this picture. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.
The market pays 13.1× for every dollar of annual profit — cheap, which is either an opportunity or a warning.
Against companies in its own sector, it looks cheaper than 96% of them.
No analyst target is on record for this company.
Buys and sells are dead even — no clear signal either way.
We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.
A score of 50 means class average.

For a bank, strength is measured by capital buffers and reserves — not cash minus debt.

Price Momentum: The stock has lagged the market in recent months; investor interest is weak right now.
The stock trades 47% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
It pays out $1.06 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
Over the last 4 years, sales fell about 18% a year on average. Profit is holding up, but a shrinking business is a risk worth watching.
Buyers haven’t stepped back in yet; the price hasn’t found its footing. Report-card grade: 24/100. For a turnaround signal, the stock first needs to close the gap with the market.
We grade companies — revenue, margins, balance sheets. This is a fund, so there is no report card to give. That is not a low grade; it is a different kind of thing.
One-line summary: a basket, not a business. Judge it by what it holds.
