Risk flags

Burning cash — operating margin is negative.Thin gross margin — keeps little of each sales dollar (judge it against its industry).Heavy dilution (~74%/yr) — top-decile share issuers have historically underperformed.Hyper-expansion — assets up ~420% in a year; aggressive expanders have historically lagged.Parabolic one-day spike (+18%) in the last month — extreme single-day moves tend to mean-revert.

Positive signals

Growth accelerating — revenue growth sped up ~112 points year-on-year; acceleration is an early fundamental tell (annual data, so it's coarse).
