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.
4) Provide a thought-provoking take, 6-10 words, to use for the headline of this news story.
Like this: AI_RPT_HEADLINE: [6-12 words headline for news story, distilled from summary]

==========================================================================

1) Brief Summary: The company appears to be struggling with a high volume of trading relative to its average, along with a 34.38% decrease in performance over the last quarter. It also indicates a high level of risk, with a -183.07% Return on Equity (ROE) and a -318.25% Return on Investment (ROI). The company's short interest is extremely low, suggesting limited confidence from short-sellers. It's worth noting that the company's insiders own the same percentage as institutional investors, which could indicate a high level of confidence from the management team. However, the lack of sales growth and profitability metrics makes it challenging to make a comprehensive conclusion.

2) MARKET_SCORE: Given the high risk and poor performance, the prospect of an upward market move seems low. Therefore, MARKET_SCORE[20]

3) PRICE_TARGET: Given the current performance and lack of financial data, a price target cannot be accurately estimated.

4) AI_RPT_HEADLINE: "High Risk, Low Confidence: Company Struggles Amid Poor Performance"
