On the stock market since 2010, it operates in the world of heavy industry. It has 27 employees. Now — the numbers.
The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.
An average decline of 22% 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 82% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.
The company sells $9.9M a year; the problem isn’t sales — it’s costs running above that number.
There is $6.4M in the vault; even if every debt were paid off, $3.3M would remain.
A loss of $300K against $9.9M in annual sales.
The stock sits at $0.17. Under exchange rules, stocks that stay below $1 for too long risk being removed from the market.
