A score of 50 means class average.
Clearly above the class average — a step short of the very top.
A solid grade overall — yet the debt outweighs the cash. The strength here comes from earnings power.

Clearly below the class average.
Price Momentum: The stock has lagged the market in recent months; investor interest is weak right now.
An investor who bought at the very peak is down 73% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.

Over the last 4 years, sales fell about 6% a year on average. Profit is holding up, but a shrinking business is a risk worth watching.

The takeaway: ZUMZ is an established business that has proven its profits for years. The real debate isn’t the quality of the business — it’s what that quality should cost.
