If the company were to report earnings in line when it publishes results Thursday, earnings would be down 126.32%. Sales would be down 39.45% from the year-ago period. Here's how the company's EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past:

Quarter Q1 2020 Q4 2020 Q3 2019 Q2 2019

Stock Performance

Over the last 52-week period, shares are down 16.71%. Given that these returns are generally negative, long-term shareholders are probably unhappy going into this earnings release.
