Persistent Negative Operating Cash FlowChronic negative operating and free cash flow means the business consumes cash to operate, forcing ongoing external funding or equity dilution. Over several months this limits discretionary investment and raises execution risk until operations generate positive cash.
Ongoing Net Losses / Weak ProfitabilitySustained net losses depress returns on equity and constrain the company’s ability to self-fund growth. Without durable operating profit improvements, management faces pressure to cut costs or raise capital, which can impair strategic initiatives and long‑term value creation.
Small, Volatile Revenue BaseA small and inconsistent revenue stream increases forecasting uncertainty and makes it harder to leverage fixed costs. This volatility raises execution risk for scaling operations and reduces investor confidence in sustainable cash generation over the medium term.
