Below-average fundamentals — multiple weak pillars.

Share count rising — dilution

+7.6% over 4y

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

Diluted shares outstanding: 18.4M (2021) → 19.8M (2025)

Intrusion Inc. is a small cybersecurity company that helps businesses and government agencies protect their computer networks from hackers and online threats. Its main product is called Shield, a cloud-based service that monitors internet traffic and automatically blocks connections to known dangerous websites or servers. The company sells primarily to U.S. federal government clients and mid-sized businesses.

Intrusion earns money through recurring subscriptions to its Shield service, which gives it predictable revenue when it can retain customers. The company operates almost entirely in the United States and is very small, with a market cap near zero and significant operating losses, meaning it spends far more than it earns. The biggest challenge facing Intrusion is survival — it competes against much larger cybersecurity firms with deeper resources, and its heavily negative operating margins suggest it must either grow revenue quickly or find ways to cut costs to remain a going concern.
