angles, checked one by one.
The 2 that stand out are on screen; the rest came back neutral.
The council scores out of 10; report-card grades are out of 100.
Profit per Sale: The profit kept from each sale is thin.
The stock trades 59% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
Sales run at $119.9M a year. A small number, but proof the product has real buyers.
Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 23 buys and 15 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
It pays out $0.08 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
A loss of $6.3M against $119.9M in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.
