• Neutral Sentiment: Technicals and trading: volume is modestly above average and the stock sits between its 50‑day (~$2.46) and 200‑day (~$2.13) moving averages — a mixed technical picture that can amplify moves from news or insider activity.
• Negative Sentiment: Significant insider selling by major shareholder Elwood G. Norris across many transactions (Oct–Nov filings show repeated large share sales and material reductions in his holdings). Heavy, disclosed sales by a >10% holder can increase supply and signal reduced insider conviction, pressuring the share price. SEC Insider Sale Filings
• Negative Sentiment: Recent fundamentals remain weak: last reported quarter showed a small loss per share, negative margins and limited revenue (~$3.5M), which keeps investor focus on cash‑flow and contract wins rather than near‑term profitability.
