on the stock market since 2016
WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?
95%Suspension Assemblies
Suspension AssembliesOther Products 5%
95% of all revenue comes from a single line: Suspension Assemblies.

That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.

Revenue last year:
$252.8M
The loss that same year:
$39.1M
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 moving sideways.

No real growth (-2% a year). Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.

In the vault right now:
$40.4M
DEBT: $7.2M
At this pace, that money lasts about 1 year.

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.

1
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/1
The product is selling

Sales run at $252.8M a year. A small number, but proof the product has real buyers.

1
THE RISKS · 1/2
Running at a loss

A loss of $39.1M against $252.8M in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.

2
THE RISKS · 2/2
The cash has a countdown

At the current pace of spending, the cash lasts about 1 year. After that, the company needs to find new money.

FINALE · THE GRADE

We don’t have a report card for this stock yet — the data isn’t mature enough to grade. No grade is information too: it means the evidence is thin.
