Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 15 buys and 8 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
The average analyst price target is $6.00 — 70,488% above today’s price.
A loss of $50.3M against $125K in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.
