Underperform
Final fundamental assessment: weak profitability (negative ROA metrics), elevated leverage (current liabilities / total liabilities = 52.14%), and poor earnings growth (basic EPS down 90.04% YoY). These factors collectively justify the underperform label and a defensive stance for risk-averse investors.
