The score is held back primarily by elevated balance-sheet risk (materially higher leverage) and multi-year earnings volatility despite a 2024 rebound and positive free cash flow. Technicals remain weak with the price below key moving averages and a negative MACD. A supportive dividend yield helps, but the negative P/E and uneven profitability limit the valuation upside.
