Beverage Manufacturing - Craft Sodas and Alternative Beverages
Strategic Profile
Strategic partnerships with brands like Fallout and Crayola have enhanced brand visibility and driven record purchase orders. Management guides to full-year 2026 revenue above $40 million, implying continued high growth, though management still cites historical losses and a working capital deficit as factors raising substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern.
Cyborg Score Rationale
