Manufactures integrated optics for various applications. Supplies optical components to biomedical, defense, and consumer sectors. Now — the numbers.
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.
No real growth (1% a year). 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. This is the most critical line in the whole picture.
This company is not turning a profit, so the market is pricing its sales instead: 10.5× for every dollar of annual revenue.
Against companies in its own sector, it looks cheaper than 23% of them.
No analyst target is on record for this company.
We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.
A score of 50 means class average.
Clearly below the class average.
A solid grade overall — yet the debt outweighs the cash. The strength here comes from earnings power.
Clearly below the class average.
Clearly below the class average.
Clearly above the class average — a step short of the very top.
Valuation: The stock trades at a price that looks expensive next to its earnings; that can cap future returns.
Business Quality: Profit power and business quality trail similar companies in the sector.
The stock trades 48% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
Sales run at $28.1M a year. A small number, but proof the product has real buyers.
Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 3 buys and 0 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
A loss of $1.8M against $28.1M in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.
At the current pace of spending, the cash lasts less than a year. After that, the company needs to find new money.
On our five-subject report card, OPTX sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
The takeaway: OPTX 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.
Not covered, because the filings we hold do not carry it: earnings execution, the revenue breakdown.
