Over the past 1624 weeks of data, HAIN has crossed below its 200-week moving average 14 times. On average, these episodes lasted 56 weeks. The average one-year return after crossing below was -9.6%, suggesting these dips have not historically been reliable buying opportunities for this stock.

Over the past 31.2 years, a hypothetical investment of $100 in HAIN would have grown to $53, compared to $2631 for the S&P 500. HAIN has returned -2.0% annualized vs 11.0% for the index, underperforming the broader market over this period.
Free cash flow has been declining at a -100% compound annual rate. A deteriorating cash flow trend warrants extra scrutiny — the stock may be cheap for a reason.
