39% of the float is short against a business that is funded rather than failing: it holds $225.7m of net cash against a $385.8m market cap, revenue grew 404% over the last year, and gross margin improved 174.2 points y/y while the multiple fell 92%. That is the shape my mandate exists to buy — a crowded short on something still alive, where covering is borrowed future buying. The strongest fact against it is that the unit economics are still broken: gross margin is -271%, stock compensation is 449% of revenue, and the share count rose 46% in a year, so the shorts can be right about the equity even if the robots work. I sell if the 17 months of runway shortens without new financing, or if gross margin stops improving toward break-even.
