My AnalysisLet's go back a bit. Did the below market financing with that ATM attached hurt Quipt ? The ATM was removed shortly after, so that's a non issue in my opinion. The capital markets were getting tougher already for smallcaps to raise money, so I suspect Crawford took advantage of an opportunity to raise some money. Was this a mistake? Possibly yes.
The revenue generating side of this company is great, however Quipt must get to a profitable status to turn the ship around, Crawford knows this, hell we all know that much. The DOJ investigation is an overhead drag on the SP foresure, much like the OIG was for Viemed. This is a random event and certainly out of the control of the company. These things take time to resolve, and Quipt maintains that they have done nothing wrong.
Except for a select few, smallcap interest and real money flowing into the space is meager. Market experts and analyst's seem to be mixed as to when the return of serious money might return. I also believe that the smallcap healthcare space is out of favor right now.
Lastly with interest rates starting to come down, capital markets should be able to provide better access to funds for companies choosing that option, and the fragmented smallcap healthcare space I believe with continue to consolidate, meaning Quipt and other's are buyout candidates.
The above post is my opinion based on talking to the company several times and analyst's covering the smallcap healthcare space. At the end of the day investors have to make their own choice's and live with the outcome if things don't workout.
