Analysis · SCND · Industrial Applications And Services
Scientific Industries reported a 36% revenue increase to $1.47 million and a narrower operating loss, but the company still carries a going concern warning and now depends on just two customers for nearly half of its revenue. The improved gross margin and cost cuts show progress, yet the reliance on a few buyers and the need for continued cash infusions keep the risk elevated. The stock trades at $0.64, reflecting the market's caution about the company's ability to reach sustainable profitability.
