Fundamental rating is Neutral: revenue averaged 2.1 percent per year over three years while net income averaged -22.0 percent per year, with no outlier distortion. Technical rating is Bearish: price sits about 1.5 percent below its 20-day moving average and the Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum reading, is 43.2 while price trades inside the Bollinger Bands. Sentiment is Bullish with a 72 composite. The three combine to an Overall Neutral rating because strong bullish sentiment is offset by weak recent profitability and a short-term technical downtrend.
