Criteria proven by this page:

• VALUE (10/100, Fail) — negative P/E indicates the company is currently operating at a loss — DCF and P/E-based valuation models cannot produce meaningful results for unprofitable companies (P/E -20.8); trailing earnings yield is below the 10-year Treasury yield (~4.3%), meaning bonds offer a better return (EY -4.81%); analyst consensus target implies downside from the current price ($9.67, 31.3%).
