Balance-sheet ResilienceVery low leverage and rising equity provide durable financial flexibility: the company can fund R&D, absorb revenue shocks, and avoid refinancing risk. This resilience supports a multi-month-to-multi-year runway for strategic investment or restructuring without immediate capital raises.

Improving Cash GenerationPositive operating and free cash flow across 2024–2025 indicates the business is beginning to convert operations into cash. Durable FCF reduces dependency on external financing, supports organic growth and product investment, and materially lowers near-term liquidity and refinancing risks.

Improving Unit EconomicsGross margin improvement signals better pricing, lower costs, or efficiency gains. Sustained margin expansion increases operating leverage so future revenue growth contributes more to profits, creating a clearer path to durable profitability if cost control and pricing discipline continue.

Bears Say

Persistent Net LossesOngoing net losses and negative returns erode shareholder value over time and limit retained earnings available for reinvestment. Persistent losses increase the likelihood of dilutive financing or forced cost cutting, constraining the firm's ability to scale profitably over the medium term.

Revenue Volatility And DeclineVolatile top-line performance and a 2025 decline impair forecasting, reduce operating leverage, and raise questions about durable product-market fit or competitive positioning. Without stable revenue growth, converting margin improvements into lasting profitability is more difficult.

Limited ScaleA small workforce constrains R&D capacity, sales coverage, and operational scale versus larger peers. Limited scale makes the business more sensitive to customer churn and execution misses, hindering sustained market-share gains and broader margin expansion over time.
