THE FIVE-YEAR JOURNEY
A long and steep decline.

An investor who bought at the very peak is down 100% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.

1
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/1
Pays a steady dividend

It pays out $0.20 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.

1
THE RISKS · 1/3
The losses continue

A loss of $63.4M against $2.6B in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.

2
THE RISKS · 2/3
Trading under $1

The stock sits at $0.0001. Under exchange rules, stocks that stay below $1 for too long risk being removed from the market.

3
THE RISKS · 3/3
The cash has a countdown

At the current pace of spending, the cash lasts less than a year. After that, the company needs to find new money.

FINALE · THE GRADE
D
0 / 100 · MoonshotScore

On our five-subject report card, BONTQ sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”

The takeaway: BONTQ has solid sales but closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.
