However, the market has a hard time valuing companies at Pyros development milestone, as does every investor. The question for each individual is how or if the positives outweigh the negatives.
Positive
-Three world-leading technologies and patent on another potential high-value business
-Tech solves at least two future problems via sale of tools rather than end product
-Well vetted: US DoD, NATO, scientific community, KPMG, MNCs
-Geopolitical GHG focus ties nicely with low-emission GHG product
-The most valuable tech has not been commercially adopted yet, but two of the three lines are in late-stage vetting while the third was recently validated as commercially viable
-Risk profile increasing since 2020, but the reward profile has increased more.
-Advertising writes itself if adopted. PAWDS/SPARC are publicity gold
-CEO is wealthy and has substantial ownership; actions generally match statements of long-term strategy
-low float= market volatility; success in one of the three most valuable techs likely yields worthwhile returns
-low debt
Negative
-Multiple complex business lines are difficult to analyze
-Commercialization transition creates increased risk through cash burn, unknown market adoption, etc.
-Addresses capital-intensive Industrial processes
-Unfortunate timing for client adoption of capital intensive processes during disinflationary policy environment
-industrial culture is conservative; if it ain't broke don't fix it
-multiple business lines at varied development; the three most valuable business lines have not yet been adopted
-unsatisfactory recurring revenue based on current expenses; increasing potential that company prematurely scaled up
-CEO is wealthy and has substantial ownership
-low float = market volatility
-strong likelihood for short and medium term investor dilution
