Winston Score History

The full picture

Crown ElectroKinetics is a small technology company that makes smart window film. This film can be applied to glass to control how much light passes through, switching from clear to tinted using electricity. The main customers are commercial buildings, offices, and potentially automotive or residential markets looking to reduce energy use and glare.

The company earns revenue by selling its electrokinetic film technology, though it is still in early commercial stages and currently spends far more than it brings in, as shown by its deeply negative margins. Crown ElectroKinetics operates primarily in the United States and has a very small market presence. Its potential edge is its proprietary film technology, which could be cheaper to produce than competing smart glass solutions. The biggest risk is that the company is burning through cash with little revenue to show for it, and it will likely need to raise more money to survive long enough to reach meaningful commercial scale.

Strong grower

Crown ElectroKinetics is growing revenue at 306% 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.
