Price Target:
$0.15
▼(-6.88% Downside)
The score is held down primarily by weak financial quality—large ongoing losses and heavy negative free cash flow—despite improving revenue and gross margin and low balance-sheet leverage. Technicals are mildly supportive (price above major moving averages with neutral-to-positive momentum), but valuation is constrained by lack of earnings and no dividend, and corporate events add risk due to delayed filings and substantial cash draw tied to legal/regulatory matters.
Positive Factors
Revenue & gross margin improvement
Sustained revenue growth coupled with a material gross margin rebound to ~44% improves unit economics and scalability. Higher margins provide structural leverage as sales scale, making future profitability achievable without relying solely on cost cuts, supporting durable operating improvement.
Low financial leverage
Conservative leverage reduces fixed financing burdens and preserves flexibility to fund operations or invest in product development. Low debt limits insolvency risk during revenue variability and gives management time to execute strategic initiatives without high interest expense pressure.
Recurring software and services revenue
A business model blending hardware sales with subscription software and services provides recurring, higher-margin revenue and customer stickiness. This structural mix increases lifetime value, visibility into future cash flows, and opportunity for upsell and expansion in multifamily/commercial accounts.
Negative Factors
High cash burn and negative free cash flow
Substantial and persistent negative FCF erodes liquidity and forces reliance on external financing or asset sales. Over time this constrains strategic flexibility, risks dilution or restrictive covenants, and means the company must materially improve margins or scale revenue to achieve self-funded growth.
Legal, regulatory costs and reporting delays
Significant legal and regulatory expenses plus delayed SEC filings are structural governance and liquidity risks. They consume cash, distract management, impair investor confidence, and can limit access to capital markets or partnerships until compliance and litigation are resolved.
Deep unprofitability and negative returns
Large recurring losses and a strongly negative return on equity signal the company is destroying shareholder value at current scale. Without sustained revenue acceleration or structural cost reduction, ongoing unprofitability will necessitate funding, limit reinvestment, and hamper long-term viability.

How the Company Makes Money

Latch Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Revenue and gross margin improved materially in 2024, and leverage is low. However, the company remains deeply unprofitable (large net loss) and continues to burn substantial cash with very negative operating and free cash flow, which is the dominant financial risk.
Income Statement
28
Negative
Revenue has grown over the last few years, with 2024 reaching about $56.6M (up meaningfully from 2023). Profitability is improving as well: gross margin rebounded to ~44% in 2024 after being much lower/negative in earlier years, and losses narrowed versus 2023 and 2022. However, the business remains deeply unprofitable, with a 2024 net loss of roughly $57.6M (net margin around -102%) and negative EBITDA, indicating the cost structure is still too heavy relative to current scale.
Balance Sheet
66
Positive
Leverage looks conservative in 2024, with total debt of roughly $5.8M against equity of about $111.2M (low debt relative to equity). That said, equity and assets have fallen materially since 2021–2022 levels, reflecting ongoing losses and balance sheet shrinkage. Returns remain poor, with a strongly negative return on equity in 2024, highlighting that while the company isn’t heavily debt-funded, it is still eroding shareholder value through continued losses.
Cash Flow
22
Negative
Cash generation is a key weakness: operating cash flow and free cash flow are significantly negative in 2024 (around -$75M and -$76M, respectively). While free cash flow improved versus 2023, the company is still consuming substantial cash to run the business, and free cash flow closely tracks the net loss, suggesting limited near-term self-funding capacity without continued liquidity support.

Latch Files Delayed 10-Q, Shows Revenue Growth, Losses
Negative
Jan 13, 2026

On January 13, 2026, DOOR (still legally Latch, Inc.) reported that it had filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025, marking another step toward regaining current status with U.S. securities regulators after a period of delayed reporting. For the first quarter of 2025, the company posted software revenue of $5.2 million and total revenue of $15.8 million, representing a 31% year-on-year rise in overall sales alongside a 9% reduction in operating expenses, narrowing its net loss to $11.3 million even as adjusted EBITDA loss widened, signaling improving operating efficiency but ongoing profitability challenges. DOOR also disclosed that its estimated cash and securities balance fell from $75.4 million at year-end 2024 to about $34.7 million at year-end 2025, driven largely by roughly $18.9 million in legal, regulatory and professional fees tied to stockholder litigation, an SEC investigation and delayed audits, as well as one-time engineering transition costs, though management indicated that cash outflows from operating and non‑recurring items were expected to be meaningfully lower in 2026, an important consideration for investors monitoring the company’s liquidity and regulatory clean‑up.

The most recent analyst rating on (LTCH) stock is a Hold with a $0.16 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Latch stock, see the LTCH Stock Forecast page.
