Looks at cost of goods sold vs last year. how do you generate less revenue with a higher cost of goods sold. the likely hood of a turn around makes sense if sales were to suddenly turn around, whilst operating costs jumped down. if operating cost keep increasing and sales go down, then investors are not been very rational by paying today's price for tomorrows outcome. and even if sales go up operating costs has to go down. if they match then what benefit goes to shareholder. but i guess with low interest rates people just buy anything without thinking about it well. invest as you please though.

Yes I agree but I was assuming that the stock write downs might be part of the reason for the higher cost of goods sold and the reduced gross margins. Stock write downs might not be deemed abnormal for this type of business. Just a thought because it is what I would do if I was part of the new management, which I'm definitely not!
