Revenue Engine

Latest quarter printed 633.6M with the top line cooling off against the last comparable period.

Profit Stack

Net income landed at 5.2M and the margin profile is tightening. That usually tells us whether operating leverage is finally kicking in.

Balance-Sheet Pressure

Cash sits near 87.4M while net debt is 622.2M. The leverage stack is cleaning up.

Quarterly Revenue Runway

Actual revenue bars, consensus revenue where available, plus the terminal model path.

Profit And Cash Conversion

Net income and free cash flow moving together is usually what separates genuine improvement from noise.

Balance-Sheet Pressure

Cash, net debt and liquidity tell us whether the business is strengthening or just surviving.

Annual Power Curve

Longer-cycle revenue and net income help frame whether the company is compounding or rolling over.

Trend Runway

Implied spot is 414.20 with the stock -89.9% vs 50DMA and -87.7% vs 200DMA. The tape is sitting -63.1% through the 52-week range, which frames the regime as trend broken.

Ownership Register

Institutions hold about 100.8% and insiders about 3.2%, locking roughly 100.0% of the register and leaving 0.0% in free float. That reads as institutional gravity.

Pressure Pocket

The API did not return a usable short-float field for this ticker, so the pressure score leans more on float lock and crowding than a full short ledger.

Capital Rhythm

Dividend cadence reads semi-annual with 2 event(s) in the last full year, a five-year average of 2.0, and stability score 100.0/100. Forward yield sits near 2.0% while payout is around 93.6%.
