New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: US$76k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense.

This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 4.2% per year over the past 5 years.
