Cerus Corp
CERSNASDAQ • USD
Market: OPEN
CERS is currently priced at $2.77. The technical outlook is "Neutral" and the fundamental picture shows "Sell". This is driven by a concerning Altman Z-Score in the distress zone, a weak Piotroski F-Score of 2/9, negative Return on Equity and a bullish Golden Cross on the moving averages. On valuation, CERS trades roughly in line with sector averages — neither particularly cheap nor expensive.
