Winston Score History

The full picture

J.W. Mays, Inc. is a small real estate company based in New York that owns and manages commercial properties. Its main business is leasing space in its buildings to tenants like retailers and other businesses. The company has operated in the New York metropolitan area for decades and focuses almost entirely on its own portfolio of owned properties.

The company makes money by collecting rent from tenants in its commercial buildings. It operates only in the New York region, making it a very small and geographically concentrated business with a market cap of around $100 million. Its thin gross margins and negative operating margin suggest the properties are not generating strong profits after expenses, and the key risk is that the company must keep occupancy rates high enough to cover its costs in a competitive New York real estate market where larger landlords have significant advantages.

Cash watch

J.W. Mays has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.
