Now, complete this report with the following:
1) Brief Summary: explain your findings in succinct wording.
2) MARKET_SCORE: If you calculate a 92% likelihood of an upward moves, say: MARKET_SCORE[92]
3) PRICE_TARGET: If you think the high today will be 50% higher, add to the price.
Eg., If the current price is $5.00, add 50%. Thus, PRICE_TARGET[$7.50] -- It should be at or above the current price.

1) Brief Summary: AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. shows some promising signs despite mixed financial metrics. The company experienced a high volume of sales growth over the past five years (233.62%) and a positive performance week (15.65%). However, there are concerns due to high sales surprise (-52.20%) and negative sales Q/Q (-93.48%). The company's market capitalization is relatively low at 2.68M, and the total assets and liabilities are not known, making it difficult to evaluate its financial health. It's also concerning to see a negative ROE and ROI, indicating issues with profitability and investment returns.
2) MARKET_SCORE[45]: Given the mixed financial metrics, the likelihood of an upward price movement is estimated at 45%.
3) PRICE_TARGET[$1.02]: Considering the company's recent performance and the current price of $0.679, a 50% price increase would put the target at $1.02.
