On the stock market since 1989, it operates in the world of heavy industry. It has 1,500 employees. Now — the numbers.
The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.
That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.
Average growth of 24% a year over the last 4 years. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.
Before the clock runs out, either sales must climb sharply or new money must come in. This is the most critical line in the whole picture.
We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.
A score of 50 means class average.

Price Momentum: The stock has lagged the market in recent months; investor interest is weak right now.
Financial Strength: The cash-and-debt balance is thin; the buffer for hard times is slim.
An investor who bought at the very peak is down 87% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.
The average analyst price target is $8.50 — 35% above today’s price.
It pays out $0.40 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
A loss of $17.9M against $609.8M in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.
At the current pace of spending, the cash lasts about 1.8 years. After that, the company needs to find new money.
On our five-subject report card, BOOM sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
The takeaway: BOOM has solid sales but closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
