Gapped down on huge volume a week ago, making a slightly lower low. Has now back-filled the gap, but also at 50-day ma resistance which could result in a lower high.
Monthly chart. Head-and-shoulders pattern EPS peaked in FY2015 at 5.70/share. The 3 years since: 1.82, 2.42, 2.65; not even half of that 5.70 number. Meanwhile share price has only gone sideways. As a matter of fact, EPS the last 2 years is slightly below FY2010 & 2011. Of course, EPS does not translate one-to-one with share price. But it's pretty close. Not unreasonable to see a decline in share price upcoming.
