weight 22% of this tense · 25th percentile among 10 sector filers · read for its shareholders

SI estimate Inferred, not read as filed

Why it is an estimate: Read from one part only, the share count over the years, which ranks in the bottom 25% of 10 in its family; fewer than two of the parts can be read: the share count over the years, and the cash returned against a positive operating cash flow or net income.
What the record cannot read: Fewer than two of the parts can be read: the share count over the years, and the cash returned against a positive operating cash flow or net income.
How it was reasoned: one part: the share count over the years, the one part on file, ranked among 10 in its family.
Confidence: 35 of 100
What would change it: A filing that carries the missing parts replaces this estimate with the filed reading.

Leverage 131%: owes 131¢ per asset dollar.

weight 45% of this tense · 12th percentile among 10 sector filers · read for itself

From the record

Leverage: it owed about 131 cents per dollar of assets, and net share issuance: its share count grew 10.4% over the year (the filed statements).

Industry position

SI estimate

4.6/10

How strong is its position in its industry?

SI estimate 4.6/10, confidence 20 of 100 (family median).

weight 33% of this tense · 50th percentile among 9 sector filers · read for its customers

SI estimate Inferred, not read as filed

Why it is an estimate: No filed revenue on file, so the desk assumes the typical reading of its industry family, the median of 9 members with one.
What the record cannot read: No filed revenue on file.
How it was reasoned: family median, 9 readings behind it.
Confidence: 20 of 100
What would change it: Its next annual report on file with the inputs replaces this estimate with the filed reading.

Leadership

as filed

1.3/10

What are the people in charge doing?

bottom 13% of 8 in its family for leadership.

weight 22% of this tense · 13th percentile among 8 sector filers · read for its shareholders

From the record

ClearOne, Inc.'s leadership, from its insiders' filings and its current reports: no one files under a chief executive's title, so that part is not read; the 3 officers and directors filing in the last fifteen months have been on the record a median of 1.2 years (bottom 7%); 9 officer or director changes were reported on Form 8-K since 2023-11-13, against the 3 people in charge now (bottom 19%; fewer changes for each person reads higher) (the Form 4 record, its Form 8-K reports). Years count from a person's first filing in the SEC's data sets, which begin in 2006, so each is a floor.

What it rests on

officer and director changes on Form 8-K, against the people in charge9 in three years among 3 peoplebottom 19% of its family
the median years the people in charge have filed1.2 yearsbottom 7% of its family

weight 33% of this tense · 26th percentile among 10 sector filers · read for its customers

three-year growth of capital spending-3.9%bottom 35% of its family
