treading water

Explanation:
Acho que "in the red" sugere uma queda em um período específico (p.ex. "15% in the red since January"), enquanto "treading water" tende a ser usado para períodos mais longos.

A tradução poderia ser "After treading water for years, the toy manufacturer suffered another setback when the stock exchange suspended trading of its shares"
