angles, checked one by one.
The 4 that stand out are on screen; the rest came back neutral.
The council scores out of 10; report-card grades are out of 100.
Revenue Growth: Sales are growing slowly.
An investor who bought at the very peak is down 85% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.
The average analyst price target is $17.00 — 64% above today’s price.
It pays out $0.62 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
A loss of $48.7M against $2.1B in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.
