New major risk - Revenue size The company makes less than US$1m in revenue. Total revenue: CHF415m (US$531m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small amount of revenue are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (9.6% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$1m (CHF415m revenue, or US$531m). Minor Risk High level of debt (180% net debt to equity). Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Apr 20
