Notably, it has underperformed its sector by 1.12% today.
The company's long-term growth prospects appear bleak, with operating profit declining at an annual rate of -149.82% over the last five years.

The stock's technical indicators are also in a bearish range, reflecting ongoing challenges in both short-term and long-term performance.
