What today's price needs: with a 13% margin and a 21x P/E, sales would have to grow about 0.7% a year for 5 years just to match today's price.

Simple math on your guesses, not a forecast or a price target. Real results depend on many things these sliders leave out.

Insider rating

47Mixed

Pre-planned sales of $190K (weaker signal)

50 is neutral. Buying by more insiders, top executives and bigger stakes raises it. Selling lowers it; pre-planned sales count less.
