- Its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of -5.197674332147293 is lower than its current P/E ratio of -2.31, implying that analysts are expecting an increase in earnings.
- The company's price/earnings-to-growth ratio (PEG Ratio), a widely used indicator of a stock's true value while also factoring in expected earnings growth, currently stands at 1.07.
