AI Analysis
AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.
I look for businesses that earn consistent profits and can be bought at a discount to intrinsic value. LiveOne does not fit that mold. It operates in digital media—music streaming, podcasts, and live events—where content costs, competition, and technology shifts are brutal. In fiscal 2026, the year ended 2026-03-31, revenue was $77.1M and net loss was $21.0M, or diluted EPS -$2.02. That followed FY2025 revenue of $114.4M and net loss of $18.7M, and FY2024 revenue of $118.4M and net loss of $12.0M. Sales are shrinking and annual losses are widening. The latest filed quarter, fiscal Q1 2027 ended 2026-06-30, showed revenue $19.4M and net loss $2.6M, or diluted EPS -$0.21. The loss narrowed from fiscal Q1 2026, when net loss was $3.6M, but the company still consumes cash. Trailing free cash flow was -$12.6M, a FCF yield of -35.9% by FairStock calculation. At the 2026-10-13 close of $2.56, market cap is $35.1M. FairStock's negative P/E of -1.41, overall score of 24/100, and Altman Z-score of -8.10 signal distress, while its Piotroski F-Score of 5/9 is mediocre. The computed Lynch category is none because the company lost money in each of the last four years. A durable moat is hard to identify: 86 employees, no profits, and negative cash flow. Perhaps a small turnaround could make the equity option-like, but Graham would demand a margin of safety in assets or earnings. I see speculation, not investment.
In plain English: LiveOne runs music streaming, podcast, and live-event media services. The company has lost money for years, revenue has fallen, and it is burning cash. At the October 13, 2026 close of $2.56, the price does not look supported by current profits or cash flow.
