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

This company holds roughly $11M 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

Faraday Future is an electric vehicle company that designs and tries to sell luxury electric cars. Its main product is the FF 91, a high-end electric SUV aimed at wealthy buyers who want a premium alternative to brands like Tesla or Mercedes. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles and has struggled for years to move from prototype to full production.

Faraday Future makes money by selling vehicles, but it has delivered only a tiny number of cars since its founding in 2014. It operates primarily in the United States with some ties to Chinese investors and markets. The company has no meaningful competitive moat — it is a very small player with severe financial losses, as shown by its deeply negative margins. The biggest risk facing the business is survival itself, since it has repeatedly faced cash shortages, leadership turmoil, and production delays that make scaling up extremely difficult.

Strong grower

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric is growing revenue at 1448% 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.
