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

This company holds roughly $6M 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

Nocera, Inc. is a small company based in Taiwan that focuses on aquaculture — the business of farming fish and seafood. It builds and sells land-based fish farming systems, which are enclosed tanks and equipment that let farmers raise fish without needing open water like ponds or oceans. Its main customers are fish farmers and aquaculture operators, primarily in Taiwan and parts of Asia.

Nocera makes money by selling its fish farming equipment and systems, and it also generates some revenue from actually raising and selling fish itself. The company is very small, with a market cap near zero and operating losses, meaning it spends more than it earns. Its gross margin of just 1.4% shows it has almost no pricing power or cost advantage over competitors. The biggest risk the company faces is simply surviving — it burns through cash, operates in a fragmented and competitive industry, and has not yet demonstrated a clear path to consistent profitability.

Revenue declining

Nocera's revenue is actually shrinking. In a growth stock, that removes the core investment thesis. The low Winston Score here may be warranted — unless there's a turnaround story.

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.
