Persistent Negative Cash FlowsSustained negative operating and free cash flows erode liquidity and force reliance on external financing or asset draws.

Shrinking scale reduces margin leverage, constrains reinvestment capacity, and can accelerate competitive deterioration if not reversed, harming the firm's ability to build or sustain advantages.
