On the stock market since 2020, it operates in the world of consumer spending. It has 158 employees. Now — the numbers.
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.
That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.
An average decline of 23% a year over the last 4 years — the most striking risk in this picture. 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. For now, time is on the company’s side.
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.
Sales run at $407.4M a year. A small number, but proof the product has real buyers.
There is $49.2M in the vault; even if every debt were paid off, $18.0M would remain.
A loss of $4.9M against $407.4M in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.
The stock sits at $0.85. Under exchange rules, stocks that stay below $1 for too long risk being removed from the market.
On our five-subject report card, BQ sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
The takeaway: BQ is a high-risk stock — not yet profitable, and its future rides on its product catching on.
