Share count rising — dilution

+7.9% over 4y

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

Diluted shares outstanding: 218K (2005) → 235K (2009)

Proxim Wireless Corporation makes wireless networking equipment. Its products include point-to-point and point-to-multipoint radio systems that send data through the air without cables. The company sells to businesses, government agencies, utilities, and internet service providers that need to connect buildings or remote locations where running physical cables is too expensive or difficult.

Proxim earns money by selling hardware and related software licenses, with some revenue from support services. It operates globally, though it is a small company with a market cap near zero, meaning it competes against much larger rivals like Cambium Networks and Ubiquiti. The company's negative operating margin and deeply negative return on invested capital signal that it is spending more than it earns, which is a serious financial concern. The main risk is whether Proxim can cut costs or grow revenue fast enough to reach profitability before running out of resources to fund its operations.

Cash watch

Proxim Wireless Corporation 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.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
