Deep Value: cash covers more than 100% of the stock price

This company holds roughly $9,962 in cash and investments — more than its entire stock-market value, based on its latest quarterly filing. You're paying very little for the actual business. Sometimes that's a genuine bargain or a takeover target, sometimes it's cheap for a reason. Not a buy signal on its own — always ask why it's this cheap.

Winston Score History

The full picture

Bantec, Inc. is a small industrial services company that provides maintenance, repair, and logistics support services, primarily to U.S. government and military customers. Its work falls under the aerospace and defense umbrella, focusing on technical services such as equipment maintenance and supply chain support for defense-related operations. The company operates in a niche segment of the defense services market, competing against both large contractors and other small specialized firms.

Bantec earns revenue by winning government service contracts, meaning it gets paid for completing specific jobs rather than through recurring subscriptions or product sales. It operates mainly within the United States and, with a market cap near zero, is a very small company by any measure. Its thin gross margin of around 16% and deeply negative operating margin signal that costs are consuming most of its revenue, which is the central financial risk the business faces as it tries to scale up its contract base and reach profitability.

Strong grower

Bantec is growing revenue at 27% year-over-year. The Winston Score penalises unprofitable companies, but revenue at this pace tells a different story — this is a company still in "build mode."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
