The bullish moves have pushed up our Zacks Consensus Estimates for the current year from a 33-cent loss to a small 3-cent loss. Next year’s EPS number is up from a 9-cent loss to a 5-cent profit.
That hasn’t helped the stock much. Shares have dropped significantly since their June 2021 highs above $9. Nearly half that now, the stock trades at $5.19 while the 52-week high is just above $7.
