Criteria proven by this page:

• VALUE (39/100, 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 -61.2); trailing earnings yield is below the 10-year Treasury yield (~4.3%), meaning bonds offer a better return (EY -1.63%); analyst consensus target implies downside from the current price ($62.50, 21.8%).
