You are now requested to make a summary analysis.
Save explaining why you didn't have enough information for the final survey.

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: The company's financials show a concerning trend. Despite a high trading volume and a 13.61% performance increase in the past month, there has been a significant decline over the quarter (-18.20%). This is reflected by the negative returns on equity (ROE) and investment (ROI), suggesting the company is not generating profits from its investments. Its average relative volume is extremely high, indicating a significant change in investor sentiment or news about the company. Insider transactions show a pattern of selling at low prices, which may reflect a lack of confidence in the company's future. Despite a positive earnings surprise of 13.56%, the company's sales have not been disclosed, and the EPS is negative. The company's debt-to-equity ratio is relatively low, which is a positive sign, but the high short interest and short ratio suggest a bearish sentiment among investors. The company's financial statements show a significant net loss, which is concerning.

2) MARKET_SCORE[40]: Given the company's financials and the bearish sentiment among investors, there is a 40% likelihood of an upward move.

3) PRICE_TARGET[$3.20]: Given the current trends and the company's financial performance, a price target of $3.20, which is 50% higher than the last closing price of $2.135, seems optimistic.

Finally, if more data could have improved your confidence which would you have chosen? **Choose one option:**
-> X0 <- Nothing more would have helped my analysis

-> X2 <- More SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K) Financials, risk disclosures, and business changes
-> X3 <- More SEC Insider Trading (Form 3, 4, 5) Direct buys/sells from executives and institutions
-> X4 <- Broader sector & market news
-> X5 <- Your past analysis on similar companies (specify metrics)
-> X6 <- More financial metrics
-> X7 <- Your past analysis on this exact company

This is highly dependent on the specific analysis I was performing. However, generally speaking, I would choose X2 - More SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K) Financials, risk disclosures, and business changes. These documents provide valuable insights into a company's financial health, strategic direction, and potential risks. They offer a comprehensive overview of a company's operations and can help refine predictions and improve the confidence in the analysis.
