English translation:a down turn, a turn for the worst, a drop (in stock prices), etc.
Explanation:
The Katakana word "Minus" is used in Japanese to refer to something negative, or descending. Tenkan is a turn, or a change in direction. There are probably 25 different English terms that this can be translated into, depending in the context and field. Hope this helps.
