Now we've reached the end of the analysis.
You are now invited to make a summary analysis.
Please don't explain why you didn't have enough information.
Save that for the survey that comes last.
Finish the summary with two scores: MARKET_SCORE[] and PRICE_TARGET[]
If you calculate a 92% likelihood of an upward moves, say: MARKET_SCORE[92]
If you think the high today will be 50% higher, add to the price. Eg., If the price is $5.00, add 50%: PRICE_TARGET[$7.50]
PRICE_TARGET is the highest it is expected to rise today, so it cannot be less than the current price.
Please provide a thought-provoking take, 6-10 words, to use for the headline of this news story.

==========================================================================
Based on the given metrics, Sunnova Energy International Inc. is currently experiencing a significant downward trend in its market performance. The short and long-term Simple Moving Average (SMA) of -75.06% and -90.94% respectively indicate a bearish market trend, with the stock underperforming relative to the past 50 and 200 days. The sales growth over the past 5 years is impressive at 49.81%, although the recent quarter's sales surprise of -4.13% suggests a possible slowdown. The high short float of 34.04% suggests that a significant portion of investors are betting on the stock's price to fall further.
Disturbingly, the company's EPS surprise is at a negative -51.5%, indicating that the company's earnings have fallen short of analysts' predictions. The company's debt-to-equity ratio is high at 4.63, indicating significant reliance on borrowing to finance its operations. The negative ROE of -21.91% suggests that the company is not profitable and is not generating a good return on equity.
The insider transactions show several high-ranking officials, including the CFO and several "See Remarks" individuals, receiving a considerable amount of restricted stock units at $0. This could be a sign of the company trying to retain its senior management amidst its poor market performance.
