Market Cap: $297.98M

Smart Share Global's market cap stands at US$297.98 million, with significant revenue streams from its Mobile Device Charging (CN¥1.41 billion) and Pv Business (CN¥479.85 million). Despite being unprofitable, the company has reduced losses by 57.7% annually over five years and maintains a robust cash runway of more than three years based on current free cash flow trends. The firm is debt-free, with short-term assets covering both short-term and long-term liabilities comfortably. Its board and management teams are experienced, but it still faces challenges in achieving profitability within the competitive consumer tech sector in China.

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Alight, Inc. is a technology-enabled services company operating globally with a market cap of approximately $1.94 billion.

Operations: The company generates revenue primarily from its Employer Solutions segment, which accounts for $2.31 billion.

Market Cap: $1.94B

Alight, Inc. faces challenges typical of penny stocks, with a market cap of US$1.94 billion and ongoing unprofitability. The company reported a significant net loss of US$1.07 billion in Q2 2025, exacerbated by a goodwill impairment charge of US$983 million. Despite this, Alight maintains over three years of cash runway due to positive free cash flow growth and has undertaken share buybacks worth US$259.4 million since 2022. While its short-term assets cover current liabilities, long-term liabilities remain uncovered, and the high net debt to equity ratio poses financial risks amidst management's limited experience (0.8 years average tenure).
