RE:5I Research On FTQ: What do you think about this company? Do they have lots of debt? They just received some government funding and I think they are in talks with a major producer. (please confirm) Is this a serious producer? Odds of buyout? 5I RESEARCH ANSWER:
FT market cap is a highly-risky $22M, and shares are down 44% in the past year. It has $9.2M in debt which adds even more risk. We are generally not in the habit of suggesting 4-cent stocks. It did recently receive $714,500 in government funding but this will not go a long way. Insiders own 6%. It has no revenue, has never made money and has negative cash flow. It is 'collaborating' with Rio Tinto, but we would not expect a buyout here and would not endorse it.
