Cemtrex Inc AI Insights

Informational only. Not investment advice.

As of 2026-01-02

Snapshot

Debt/equity of 6.2x with 22.6M total debt against only 3.6M equity - balance sheet severely strained with tangible book value negative (-93K)[Debt to Equity]
ROIC of -84% TTM vs industry median -22% - destroying capital at 4x the rate of struggling peers[ROIC]
Asset turnover 1.68x vs industry median 0.30x - efficient revenue generation but losses consume operating leverage[Asset Turnover]

Watch Triggers

Cash and Equivalents: Falls below 5M — Would signal <3 months runway at current burn rate, forcing distressed capital raise
Operating Income: Turns negative (currently 1.9M positive) — Only positive profitability metric - loss here removes any turnaround thesis
Accounts Receivable: Exceeds 15M or DSO extends — Already 17% of revenue; collection issues would accelerate cash crisis
