Key facts
Is the company run well?
Five key figures against companies in the same sector. Green is better than most, amber about like the industry and red weaker than most.
- Returns · return on assets −1,711.2% Weaker than the industry Industry: 11.7%
- Solidity · equity ratio −4,029.4% Weaker than the industry Industry: 36.4%
- Liquidity · current ratio 0.72 Weaker than the industry Industry: 1.41
The mark comes from the company's place among comparable companies (percentile): green from 60, amber from 40, red below 40. Negative equity, an operating loss and a current ratio under 1 pull it down regardless. Methodology

Scenario analysis: the sector's weakest year
We have no accounts for 2026, the sector's weakest year, for this company.
The sector's weakest year was 2026, with a median operating margin of 4.1%. Based on the 8 fiscal years we have. The analysis grows as more years are fetched or imported. Methodology
