AI Analysis

I approach Quantum as a Graham-style balance-sheet question first: the filed figures show losses in every period supplied. In fiscal Q1 2027, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, revenue was $80.8M, net income was -$155.3M, and diluted EPS was -$7.06. For FY2026, the year ended 2026-03-31, revenue was $279.6M, net income was -$101.0M, and diluted EPS was -$7.97; FY2025 and FY2024 also showed net losses of $115.1M and $41.3M. Revenue is not collapsing—fiscal Q1 2027 revenue of $80.8M exceeds fiscal Q1 2026's $64.3M—but the profits are not there. At the 2026-10-16 close, market cap was $102.0M and FairStock's P/E was -1.42; its FCF yield is -20.5%, and TTM FCF is -$20.9M. The Piotroski F-Score of 5/9 is middling, while an Altman Z-Score of -8.03 is a serious distress marker. Book value, ROE, and D/E are unavailable in the supplied data, so a Graham-style asset check is not possible. The business sells data management for unstructured data, video, archives, and surveillance, but I see no durable moat in these numbers: 490 employees, negative ROCE of -0.40%, and unavailable equity returns. A beta of 3.09 and a 52-week range of $4.19-$35.65 tell me the market has been wildly uncertain. FairStock's Lynch category is none because of losses in each of the last four years. At a $102.0M market cap, this is a speculative turnaround, not a Graham bargain; I would need evidence of positive earning power and free cash flow before calling it investment grade.

In plain English: Quantum sells data storage and management products for large files used in video, archives, and surveillance. It is growing revenue but losing large amounts of money and spending more cash than it brings in, with losses in every year shown. At the 2026-10-16 close, the price does not look supported by profits; it looks speculative rather than a bargain.
