Proprietary Microwave TechnologyOwning specialized microwave process technology and engineering expertise creates durable competitive advantage. The IP and application know‑how support equipment sales, engineering services and licensing, raising switching costs and enabling long-term industrial adoption.

Improving Profitability And MarginsSustained margin improvement signals operational leverage and better cost management. Higher gross and operating margins increase the company's ability to sustain investment in commercialization and improve resilience to demand swings once revenue stabilizes.

Moderate Balance Sheet StabilityA balanced debt profile and healthy equity ratio provide financial flexibility for multi-stage industrial projects. Improved ROE indicates more efficient capital use, supporting funding for pilot-to-commercial transitions without overly leveraging the balance sheet.

Bears Say

Persistent Negative Free Cash FlowConsistent negative free cash flow undermines self-funded growth and increases reliance on external financing. Weak cash conversion from income constrains capital for equipment production, customer installations and slows reinvestment into scaling commercial operations.

Inconsistent Revenue GrowthVolatile top-line performance reflects timing risk of industrial projects and uneven commercial uptake. Inconsistent revenues make forecasting and capacity planning difficult, raising the risk that fixed costs will pressure margins during slower periods.

Commercialization And Scale RiskBusiness depends on converting pilot work into full-scale industrial deployments. That requires execution capacity, long sales cycles and customer validation; with ~55 employees, scaling project delivery and after-sales support may be constrained, raising execution risk.
