Sales don’t cover the costs; the gap drains from the cash pile every year.

The company is still in the product-building phase: its spending runs above its sales. That only changes once the product starts selling at scale.

THE SALES TREND
Sales are growing, year after year.

Average growth of 367% a year over the last 4 years. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.

FINALE · THE GRADE
A
0 / 100 · MoonshotScore

On our five-subject report card, ARQT sits near the top of the class. A high grade doesn’t mean “guaranteed win” — it means “the evidence looks strong for now.”

The takeaway: ARQT is a high-risk stock — not yet profitable, and its future rides on its product catching on.

The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.

Analysts’ average target sits above today’s price, yet the valuation grade (60/100) says the stock isn’t cheap.
