Warning signs

3 flagged
  • Liabilities exceed assets Shareholders' equity is negative at -$131.5M as of Dec 31, 2025. What is left for shareholders after creditors is, on the balance sheet, less than nothing.
  • Bankruptcy model reads distressed The Altman score sits inside the range historically associated with financial distress. It is used here only to exclude, never to rank, and it is a statistical band rather than a prediction about this company.
  • Shareholders diluted The share count rose 37.1% over the year, from 95m to 130m shares. Each existing share owns a smaller fraction of the company than it did a year ago.
