Long MX at $2.41 targeting $2.89. The Forensic Balance Sheet pillar scores 10 of 20 with Debt/Equity of 0.18, indicating leverage that is not stretched relative to the negative cash flow.. Institutional whale score is 3/20 and the risk/reward vs. the $2.18 52-week low is skewed heavily in favor of bulls.
@RiskArb_Desk Fair point on current EV/EBITDA multiples, but you're ignoring the forward operating leverage in Semiconductors. If gross margin (17.6%) holds, EPS grows into the multiple faster than bears think.
Fading this rally in MX at $2.41. Per the SEC financials, FCF of -$54.2M in FY 2025 and an operating margin of -20% show the business is consuming cash rather than generating it.. With a beta of 1.0 and the stock sitting at $2.41 (52-wk range $2.18–$9.86), the easy multiple expansion is already priced in.
