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

This company holds roughly $26M 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

Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns and operates office buildings and multifamily properties. Its offices are primarily located in high-barrier-to-entry markets, with a focus on creative office space in Los Angeles and other select U.S. cities. The company also has a growing presence in multifamily housing and hotel properties.

CMCT earns revenue mainly through rental income from tenants leasing its office and residential spaces. It is a small-cap REIT with a concentrated portfolio, operating primarily in California and Hawaii. The company has been working to diversify beyond traditional office space into multifamily and hospitality assets, but its small size and heavy exposure to the challenged office market — particularly amid shifting work-from-home trends — remain key risks to its financial performance going forward.

Revenue declining

Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation's revenue is actually shrinking. In a growth stock, that removes the core investment thesis. The low Winston Score here may be warranted — unless there's a turnaround story.

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.
