WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?
53%Internet Business
Internet BusinessOther Operating 47%
53% of all revenue comes from a single line: Internet Business.

The biggest line carries real weight, but it doesn’t decide everything on its own.

Revenue last year:
$171.8M
The loss that same year:
$38.5M
For every $1 it earns, the company spends $1.2.

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 overall, with a pause along the way.

Average growth of 10% a year over the last 4 years. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.

2025
In the vault right now:
$226.4M
DEBT: $2.3M
At this pace, that money lasts about 5.9 years.

At this burn rate the cash pile isn’t the pressing question — for now, time is on the company’s side.

THE FIVE-YEAR JOURNEY
A big climb, then a hard fall.

An investor who bought at the very peak is down 67% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.

1
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/3
Sales keep climbing

Over the last 4 years, sales grew about 10% a year on average.

2
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 2/3

Running at a loss

A loss of $38.5M against $171.8M in annual sales.

2
THE RISKS · 2/3
The price runs ahead of the earnings

Today’s price already includes part of tomorrow’s optimism. Report-card grade: 15/100.

3
THE RISKS · 3/3
The stock has lost its spark

Buyers haven’t stepped back in yet; the price hasn’t found its footing. Report-card grade: 22/100. For a turnaround signal, the stock first needs to close the gap with the market.

FINALE · THE GRADE
F
26 / 100 · MoonshotScore

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

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