  2. Van, I agree that they need something that can increase their revenue. They don't look that great at the moment. Their profit margin has been decreasing and they had negative one in the last report. So in terms of profitability, they are in bad shape. ROE and ROA have been decreasing since 2014 although their PE ratio doesn't look that bad but it has been decreasing too. It also indicates that they are not utilizing their resources effectively and efficiently

    Their current ratio has been decreasing too but it's still above 1, indicating they have no problem in meeting their obligation.

    imho, the problem is in the managerial skill. Their CEO - David T. Seaton, was picked as top 25 worst performing CEO (ranked 22nd) in 2015; he hasn't done a great job since 2014 nevertheless he has received very good perks. I think there is some sort of agency problem there too
