This is an established company with proven profits.
An average decline of 35% a year over the last 4 years — the most striking risk in this picture. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.
The stock trades 23% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
The net profit margin is 60% — still a thick cushion, though costs have been eating into it lately.
It pays out $0.80 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
The company’s market value is 58 times its annual profit. Even a small disappointment could hit the price hard.
Over the last 12 months, executives reported 5 sells against just 0 buys. Not an alarm bell by itself, but a number worth watching.
