A downtrend has been apparent inVeru Inc.(VERU) lately. While the stock has lost 5.2% over the past week, it could witness a trend reversal as a hammer chart pattern was formed in its last trading session.

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.

==========================================================================
1) Brief Summary: The company's performance has been generally negative, with a significant decrease in performance over the past quarter (-28.41%) and month (-5.70%). The sales YoY TTM is also down by -7.43%. This is coupled with the negative return on investment (ROI) of -116.54% and return on equity (ROE) of -80.11%. Additionally, the average trading volume is down to 28% of the usual, indicating a lack of interest from traders. Insider trading shows some activity but is not substantial enough to make a major difference. The company's financials lack detailed information making a comprehensive analysis difficult. However, the negative beta suggests the stock is moving in the opposite direction of the market, indicating potential instability.
2) MARKET_SCORE[30] - Given the negative financial indicators and reduced trading volume, the likelihood of an upward movement seems low.
3) PRICE_TARGET[$0.45] - The current downward trend and poor performance indicators suggest a potential further drop in price.
