On the stock market since 2007, it operates in the world of heavy industry. It has 55 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 18% 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.
Executive selling isn’t always bad news; people sell for personal reasons too. Still, the thin buying side is worth noting.
The stock trades 52% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
There is $10.9M in the vault; even if every debt were paid off, $10.8M would remain.
It pays out $0.08 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
A loss of $100K against $9.0M in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.
The stock sits at $0.58. Under exchange rules, stocks that stay below $1 for too long risk being removed from the market.
