Winston Score History

The full picture

Interlink Electronics makes small sensors that detect touch and pressure. Its main products are force-sensing resistors (FSRs) — thin, flexible components that can tell when something is being pressed and how hard. These sensors are sold to manufacturers in industries like medical devices, consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial equipment.

The company earns money by selling its sensor components and modules directly to other businesses, not to everyday consumers. Interlink operates primarily in North America but sells to customers globally, and it is a small company with a market cap around $100 million. Its moat comes from specialized sensor technology and long-standing customer relationships, though its negative operating and return margins show it is currently spending more than it earns. The key risk is that Interlink is a small supplier competing against larger electronics component makers, making it vulnerable to pricing pressure and customer concentration — losing even one major customer could significantly hurt revenue.
