  • Inventory up $20M (change in inventory) while revenue down 13% over 5Y - demand mismatch building working capital drag[Change in Inventory]
  • Dividend payout ratio 5Y avg of 91% vs industry median 25% - unsustainable given declining EPS trajectory[Dividend Payout Ratio Avg 5Y]

Watch Triggers
