THE RISKS · 1/2
Growth has stalled

Over the last 4 years, sales grew only 1% a year on average. At this size, speeding back up is not easy.

THE RISKS · 2/2

The company’s market value is 52 times its annual profit. Even a small disappointment could hit the price hard.

FINALE · THE GRADE
grade pending

No score published: this stock trades under $10,000 on a typical day, so the price beside it is not one you could reliably act on.
