Individual Predictions(9 runs)
Q4 FY2025 generated $12.1M OCF. Revenue growth increases receivables and inventory. DSOs at 121 days. Higher-margin businesses ramping. Close call.
CEO said OCF ramps in FY2027-2028. FY2026 may be near zero or slightly negative.
Appropriation signed helps payments. Seasonal Q4 software sales. But inventory build for SRMs and engines consumes cash.
$300M revenue growth means ~$100M receivables increase at 121 DSO. Plus inventory. Likely negative.
Prometheus JV funding ($50M) and program investments consume cash. Lean NO.
Near coin flip. Revenue growth drives WC consumption. Collections could offset.
Near zero likely. Could be slightly positive or negative.
Working capital growth and investments suggest slight negative.
Investment intensity slightly favors negative OCF.
