THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/3
Sales keep climbing

Over the last 3 years, sales grew about 26% a year on average.

2
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 2/3
Sales are holding up

The company sells $1.2B a year; the problem isn’t sales — it’s costs running above that number.

3
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 3/3
Strong cash, light debt

There is $2.1B in the vault; even if every debt were paid off, $948.6M would remain.

1
THE RISKS · 1/2
The losses continue

A loss of $295.3M against $1.2B in annual sales.

2
THE RISKS · 2/2
Executives lean toward selling

Over the last 12 months, executives reported 143 sells against just 39 buys. Not an alarm bell by itself, but a number worth watching.

FINALE · THE GRADE
B
0 / 100 · MoonshotScore

On our five-subject report card, CFLT 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: CFLT has solid sales but closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.
