Operating Cash Flow WeaknessZero operating cash flow is a structural concern: it limits the company’s ability to fund working capital, capex, and distributions from internal resources. Over months this increases reliance on external financing, raising cost and execution risk for projects and payouts.
Variable / Negative Free Cash FlowIntermittent negative free cash flow signals inconsistent cash conversion from reported profits. This undermines sustainable reinvestment and dividend funding, and makes the company vulnerable to timing shocks or higher financing costs if working capital or capex needs spike.
Recent Revenue DeclineA recent downward move in revenue suggests demand softness or contract timing issues. If this persists it can erode margins, compress earnings and worsen cash generation, increasing the probability of cost cuts or delayed projects over the medium term.
