Fundamentals & Catalysts
- Over the past 12 months the company generated $-64,186,000 in earnings before interest and taxes from $831 million in revenue. It currently holds $486 million in cash and $275 million in debt.
- Its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of -97.3596520378246 is lower than its current P/E ratio of -4.28, 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 -0.40. A fairly valued company should have a PEG ratio of 1.0. When a company's PEG exceeds 1.0, it's considered overvalued while a stock with a PEG of less than 1.0 is considered undervalued.
- The company's debt-to-equity ratio, which measures the extent to which it finances its operations through debt, currently stands at 1.71 which means it currently has $1.71 of debt for every $1 of equity.

Some industries are known for having much higher debt to equity ratios than others.
