New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 66% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk.

A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 66% per year over the past 5 years.
