1.32 / 10
Underperform

FT's fundamental assessment is poor at 1.3/10. Key concerns include a negative return on total assets (-10.08%) and annualized return (-20.16%), both in the lowest performance group. Although the fixed assets turnover ratio is high at 1031.01, indicating efficient fixed-asset utilization, it is insufficient to offset other weaknesses. Current asset and liability ratios are average, but earnings growth metrics are volatile. Overall, the fundamental picture suggests limited upside without material improvement.
