The company missed earnings per share (EPS) estimates by $0.02, reporting $0.38 instead of the expected $0.40, which may raise concerns about its ability to meet future earnings expectations.
Recent insider selling, including significant transactions by executives, could signal a lack of confidence in the company's short-term prospects, which may deter potential investors.

The stock has a consensus rating of "Hold," suggesting that while it may not be a bad investment, it may not be the best option for aggressive growth investors.
