Maximum revenue is from the IDW Publishing segment, which focuses on comic books and graphic novels. The company is not currently profitable on a net income basis (negative net margin of 27.72%), though elevated P/E metrics reflect potential growth expectations. As of March 2024, CEO Davidi Jonas holds approximately 59.4% of the company's voting rights.
Cyborg Score Rationale
