Warning signs
- Bankruptcy model reads distressed The Altman score sits inside the range historically associated with financial distress. It is used here only to exclude, never to rank, and it is a statistical band rather than a prediction about this company.
- Gross margin narrowing Gross margin fell from 47.9% to 45.7%. The company is keeping less of each dollar of sales than it did a year ago.
- Revenue shrinking Revenue fell 6.4% over the year, from $1.9B to $1.8B.
