Analysis · SCKT · Technology
Socket Mobile's Q2 results reveal accelerating deterioration: revenue fell 25% year-over-year to $3.0 million, gross margin contracted to 46.4%, and operating losses nearly doubled to $1.2 million. With only $1.6 million in cash and a net loss of $1.3 million for the quarter, the company is burning through its remaining liquidity at an unsustainable rate. This comes against a backdrop of a Nasdaq delisting notice for a sub-$1.00 stock price and a recent CEO ouster, painting a picture of a company in crisis.
