Basic framework:

- Rough estimation of their current position relative to peer organizations (list them, rank them based on your general idea of who's leading overall right now)

- Any public, objective statements of their prospects by e.g. independent writers or sources

- Current share pricing relative to e.g. 200-day moving average (tech will be very low currently, so in a way it could be similar to a buy-low-sell-high situation depending on how long you work there and how they perform in the market).

- Check Yahoo Finance for technical data like that, as well as other fundamentals and other reports

- Any other objective metrics that would indicate a change in their market leadership ranking. For example upcoming launch date targets for new tech. Then evaluate share pricing changes around that time, see if pricing budged compared to expectations & read media reviews.

This is better as an ongoing process than one and done. Good luck.
