| Burning cash — operating margin is negative. | 36 | -6.5% |
| Heavy dilution (~14%/yr) — top-decile share issuers have historically underperformed. | sample still too small to report (need ≥ 8) | |
| Distress signs — negative retained earnings, negative operating cash flow, and liabilities above assets. | sample still too small to report (need ≥ 8) | |

These per-flag figures are observational — a flag firing is not a randomized assignment, so any edge can reflect what kind of names trip a flag, not the flag itself. Descriptive, not causal.
Scope: these are forward returns vs the S&P among names still covered at each horizon's end, within the curated universe — not a survivorship-clean whole-market backtest. Names later dropped from coverage are counted as attrition (not hidden), and single-session moves beyond ±300% are treated as split/data artifacts and excluded.

AI take — daily, AI-generated
AI leans cautious
ChargePoint has decent margins (32.1%) and modest profitability, but 8.8% growth is sluggish for a charging play, and rising dilution erodes shareholder value despite recent momentum.
