A loss of $78.2M against $1.3B in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.
The stock sits at $0.32. Under exchange rules, stocks that stay below $1 for too long risk being removed from the market.
This stock swings about 3.3 times as much as the market average. Big rallies — and big drops — can both happen fast.
