Analysis · STEX · Industrial Applications And Services
Streamex reported a narrower Q2 loss of $14.6 million versus $20.4 million a year ago, but the six-month loss ballooned to $61.2 million, driven by heavy stock-based compensation and debt extinguishment costs. Cash fell to $5.6 million from $20.3 million at year-end, though management says liquidity is sufficient for at least a year. The company also disclosed that material weaknesses in internal controls remain unremediated, and it authorized a 10-million-share buyback at up to $2.00 per share — a move that could support the stock but also signals confidence in its liquidity position. The filing also reveals a $5 million USDC loan to a trading firm to support GLDY liquidity, which carries counterparty risk.
