Revenue last year:
$0
The loss that same year:
$0
For every $1 it earns, the company spends $1.8.

The company is still in the product-building phase: its spending runs far above its sales. That only changes once the product starts selling at scale.

WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?

Products 99%Royalty 1%
99% of all revenue comes from a single line: Products.

That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.

THE SALES TREND
Sales are growing overall, with a pause along the way.

Average growth of 18% a year over the last 4 years. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.

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.

THE FIVE-YEAR JOURNEY
A big climb, then a hard fall.

An investor who bought at the very peak is down 89% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.

1
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/2
The product is selling

Sales run at $272.1M a year. A small number, but proof the product has real buyers.

2
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 2/2
Analysts’ target sits above today’s price

The average analyst price target is $3.00131% above today’s price.

1
THE RISKS · 1/2
Small sales, big loss

A loss of $229.7M against $272.1M in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.

2
THE RISKS · 2/2
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.

FINALE · THE GRADE
F
0 / 100 · MoonshotScore

On our five-subject report card, WALD sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”

The takeaway: WALD 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.

Analysts’ average target sits above today’s price, yet the valuation grade (14/100) says the stock isn’t cheap.
