🔴 Bear CaseWhat could go wrong?

1. Margins are being competed away
   EBITDA margin has fallen from 9.9% to -0.1%. If the trend continues, profit falls even on flat sales — and margin decline rarely reverses quickly.
2. Sales are being booked faster than collected
   Receivables are up 616% against revenue up 196%. If customers keep taking longer to pay, reported profit will not turn into cash — and write-offs follow if some never do.
3. Earnings are hard to forecast
   Profit has swung sharply from year to year, so any single year — good or bad — is a weak guide to the next. Cyclical earnings deserve lower multiples for that reason.
4. Size brings its own risk
   Micro Cap businesses are thinly traded, so exits are harder in a falling market and single events move the price more than they would for a larger company.
5. Several serious flags at once
   3 high-severity checks triggered. Individually each has an explanation; together they raise the chance that something structural is wrong rather than a one-off.
