Underperform
EMD's fundamental evaluation is challenging, with a netural overall score and key metrics like Rate of Return on Total Assets at -10.07% placing it in the lowest performance quartile. Strengths are limited to Gross Profit Margin of 38.11% and a Current Liabilities/Total Liabilities ratio of 52.14%, which, combined with a Total Profit/EBIT of 100%, suggests liquidity is manageable but profitability remains a concern. Historical back-tests show modest one-month returns (1.48-1.58%) with moderate confidence, reinforcing the need for caution.
