on the stock market since 1996
348 employees
$129.1M market value
Revenue last year:
$73M
The loss that same year:
$1.5M
Sales don’t cover the costs; the gap drains from the cash pile every year.

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.

In the vault right now:
$238K
DEBT: $11.5M
At this pace, that money lasts less than a 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.

No analyst target is on record for this company.

What executives did with their own stock over the last 12 months:
8 buy126 sell

Executive selling isn’t always bad news; people sell for personal reasons too. Still, the thin buying side is worth noting.

INSIDE THE REPORT CARD

A score of 50 means class average.

BUSINESS QUALITY
66
strong

weak

Clearly below the class average.

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

Sales run at $73.0M a year. A small number, but proof the product has real buyers.

1
THE RISKS · 1/3
Small scale, thin loss

A loss of $1.5M against $73.0M in annual sales.

2
THE RISKS · 2/3
The cash has a countdown

At the current pace of spending, the cash lasts less than a year. After that, the company needs to find new money.

3
THE RISKS · 3/3
Executives lean toward selling

Over the last 12 months, executives reported 126 sells against just 8 buys. Not an alarm bell by itself, but a number worth watching.

FINALE · THE GRADE
B
58 / 100 · MoonshotScore

On our five-subject report card, OCC sits in the middle of the class: some subjects shine, others don’t. The grade moves as the numbers move.

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

The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
