EPS was -7.9c vs estimates of -6.8c; The revenue base remains minimal. Cash flow last year was negative $38.4M, a bit better than expected.

Losing Money in the Stock Market: Buying companies that are constantly issuing shares
Some companies use their stock like an ATM machine, continually issuing shares to raise capital and diluting existing shareholders at the same time. Yes, we know that’s the main reason for the stock market. But, companies need to be self-sufficient at some point. A company that issues new shares year after year will find it hard to grow per-share earnings, even if the top line growth looks good. Sometimes companies will need to issue shares in order to acquire another company and we would consider that different. It is the companies that issue shares all the time and then either do nothing with the capital or, worse, use it to fund ongoing negative cash flow that we caution against. For example, we will pick on one company, the one we found in Canada with the most shares outstanding. You can connect the dots. IAnthus Capital Holdings Inc. has 6.7 billion shares outstanding and its 10-year stock performance is minus 99.3 per cent, according to Bloomberg.
