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

1) Brief Summary:

The company is currently in a challenging financial situation, as evidenced by a series of negative performance indicators. The company's sales have declined year over year by 22.33%, and even more significantly quarter over quarter by over 30%. Performance over the past month and quarter has also been negative, with decreases of 32.26% and 87.06% respectively. The average volume is relatively low, and the return on equity (ROE) and return on investment (ROI) are also in negative territory at -50.22% and -64.36% respectively, indicating a lack of profitability. Moreover, the company's relative strength index (RSI) is below 50, suggesting that it may be oversold.

2) MARKET_SCORE[15]

Given the company's poor performance across various financial metrics and the lack of positive indicators, the likelihood of an upward price move in the near term seems low. The company's significant declines in sales, both year over year and quarter over quarter, suggest a lack of growth potential. The negative ROE and ROI indicate a lack of profitability, while the low volume and RSI suggest a lack of investor interest. Therefore, the market score is estimated at 15.

3) PRICE_TARGET[2.50]

Given the negative trends in the company's performance, it's reasonable to expect the stock price might continue to decline. Based on the current price of 3.49, a decrease of about 28% would bring the price to around 2.50. This estimate is considering the significant declines in sales and profitability, as well as the negative performance over the past month and quarter.
