Stock Scorer

C56/100

Profitability13/20
Profitable but shrinking: $849.0M over the last four reported quarters, down from $1.93B the year before.
Insider buying vs selling11/20
Insiders are sellers only: 2 sells worth $4.1M, no open-market buys, across the last 20 Form 4s. Routine executive selling is common, so this is only a mild negative. Separately, 4 new 5%+ stake disclosures (13D/13G) hit in the last 6 months, which is big-money accumulation.
Dilution and offerings6/15
Share count up 8.7% in a year plus 3 offering-related filings. Real dilution. One nuance: offerings raise cash that can fund real growth. The score docks the certain near-term dilution; if the spending pays off, it shows up later in the profitability component.
