The earnings call indicates a challenging financial situation with a 13% revenue decline, increased debt, and reduced cash reserves. Despite some strategic initiatives and backlog growth, the absence of a share repurchase program and increased losses in the Life Sciences segment raise concerns.

These factors suggest a negative sentiment, likely resulting in a stock price decrease of -2% to -8% over the next two weeks.
