On the stock market since 2016, it operates in the world of technology. Now — the numbers.

Average growth of 29% a year over the last 3 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. For now, time is on the company’s side.
The stock trades near its peak today. For long-term holders the ride has paid off so far — though past performance guarantees nothing about the future.
Over the last 3 years, sales grew about 29% a year on average.
The company sells $587.5M a year; the problem isn’t sales — it’s costs running above that number.
There is $246.7M in the vault; even if every debt were paid off, $170.5M would remain.
A loss of $51.0M against $587.5M in annual sales.
On our five-subject report card, LOCK sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
The takeaway: LOCK has solid sales but closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.
