Share count rising — dilution

+12.1% over 2y

The company has issued more shares over this period, which dilutes each existing shareholder’s stake.

Diluted shares outstanding: 87.8M (2007) → 98.4M (2009)

Electric Car Company, Inc. is a small U.S.-based company that makes electric vehicles. It focuses on low-speed electric vehicles and mobility solutions, targeting niche markets such as campus transportation, municipalities, and short-range commercial fleets rather than competing directly with mainstream passenger car makers.

The company earns revenue through vehicle sales, though its financials show it is far from profitable — an operating margin of negative 167% means it spends far more than it brings in. It operates primarily in the United States and, with a market cap near zero, is considered a micro-cap or shell-stage business. The gross margin of just 3.4% leaves almost no room to cover operating costs, and the deeply negative return on invested capital signals that capital is being destroyed rather than created. The central risk is whether the company can scale revenue fast enough to survive, as businesses at this stage frequently face cash shortfalls and dilution through new share issuances.

Cash watch

Electric Car Company has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.
