🔴 Bear CaseWhat could go wrong?

1. Solvency comes before everything else
   Liabilities exceed assets. Until net worth is rebuilt, the equity is a claim on a business that owes more than it owns, and further losses or a funding squeeze can leave shareholders with nothing.
2. Margins are being competed away
   EBITDA margin has fallen from -266.7% to -290.1%. If the trend continues, profit falls even on flat sales — and margin decline rarely reverses quickly.
3. The price already assumes success
   The stock trades 226% above its own median multiple. At this level the business has to deliver just to stand still, and a stumble is repriced twice — lower earnings on a lower multiple.
4. 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.
5. 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.
