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

This company holds roughly $37M 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

Network-1 Technologies is a patent licensing company. It owns a portfolio of patents and earns money by licensing those patents to other businesses that use the underlying technologies. Its main "customers" are companies in industries like networking, digital media, and consumer electronics that need to pay for the right to use Network-1's patented inventions.

The company makes money almost entirely from licensing fees and legal settlements — it does not manufacture or sell any physical products. Network-1 operates primarily in the United States and is a very small company, with most of its value tied to its patent portfolio rather than ongoing operations. Its competitive position depends heavily on the strength and remaining lifespan of its patents, which creates significant risk: as key patents expire, the company's ability to generate revenue shrinks, and finding new patents to monetize is uncertain.
