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

This company holds roughly $1,263 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

MPM Technologies is a small industrial company focused on environmental and pollution control technology. It develops systems designed to reduce harmful emissions and treat waste, primarily targeting industrial customers who need to meet environmental regulations. The company operates in the pollution and treatment controls segment of the broader industrials sector.

MPM Technologies generates revenue by selling or licensing its proprietary emissions and waste treatment technology to industrial clients. It is a very small company, with a market cap that rounds to essentially zero, and it carries a deeply negative operating margin, meaning it spends far more than it earns. The company's main challenge is scaling its technology to the point where revenue can cover operating costs, and its biggest risk is running out of cash before it reaches that threshold.

Cash watch

MPM Technologies 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.

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.
