🎯 Investment Thesis

Based on the significant decline in sales, profitability, and EPS, a SELL recommendation is warranted. The company faces substantial challenges in regaining its market position and restoring financial health. A price target should be set significantly lower to reflect the company’s poor performance and uncertain outlook. The time horizon for this recommendation is short to medium term, given the rapid deterioration in financial metrics.
