Unprofitable companies can burn through cash quickly, leaving investors exposed if they fail to turn things around. Without a clear path to profitability, these businesses risk running out of capital or relying on dilutive fundraising.
A lack of profits can lead to trouble, but StockStory helps you identify the businesses that stand a chance of making it through. That said, here are two unprofitable companies that could turn today’s losses into long-term gains and one best left off your radar.
One Stock to Sell:
Myriad Genetics (MYGN)
Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -12.2%
Founded in 1991 as one of the pioneers in translating genetic discoveries into clinical applications, Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ: MYGN) develops genetic tests that assess disease risk, guide treatment decisions, and provide insights across oncology, women's health, and mental health.
Why Should You Sell MYGN?
- Sales stagnated over the last two years and signal the need for new growth strategies
- Revenue growth over the past five years was nullified by the company’s new share issuances as its earnings per share fell by 7.4% annually
- EBITDA losses may force it to accept punitive lending terms or high-cost debt
Myriad Genetics is trading at $3.77 per share, or 0.4x forward price-to-sales. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including MYGN in your portfolio.
Two Stocks to Watch:
Asure Software (ASUR)
Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -1.2%
Operating in the often-overlooked smaller metropolitan markets where HR expertise can be scarce, Asure Software (NASDAQ: ASUR) provides cloud-based human capital management software and services that help small and medium-sized businesses manage payroll, taxes, time tracking, and HR compliance.
Why Does ASUR Stand Out?
- Products and services have many advocates, as seen in its respectable 16.1% annual sales growth over the last two years
- Billings have averaged 26.2% growth over the last year, showing it’s securing new contracts that could potentially increase in value over time
- Well-designed software integrates seamlessly with other workflows, enabling swift payback periods on marketing expenses and customer growth at scale
Asure Software’s stock price of $8.58 implies a valuation ratio of 1.5x forward price-to-sales. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
Blink Charging (BLNK)
Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -52.7%
One of the first EV charging companies to go public, Blink Charging (NASDAQ: BLNK) is a manufacturer, owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle charging equipment and networked EV charging services.
Why Do We Like BLNK?
- Adequate gross margin of 32.5% gives it sufficient room to spend on marketing and product development
- Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last two years, increasing by 35.7% annually
At $0.54 per share, Blink Charging trades at 0.8x forward price-to-sales. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
