Executive Buying: The trades send no strong signal of confidence.
The stock trades 33% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
The company sells $51.6M a year; the problem isn’t sales — it’s costs running above that number.
The average analyst price target is $8.40 — 49% above today’s price.
It pays out $0.25 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
A loss of $5.8M against $51.6M in annual sales.
