NasdaqCM:TC Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at May 2026

TTM loss of C¥148.0 million keeps profitability in focus

  • Over the trailing 12 months, Token Cat recorded total revenue of C¥36.6 million against a net loss of C¥148.0 million, so the business is still firmly loss making even as losses have narrowed at an average rate of 2.6% per year over the last five years.
  • Bears highlight the continued losses, and the H1 2025 net loss of C¥0.7 million versus C¥147.3 million in H2 2024 tests that cautious view:
    • On a trailing basis, net loss of C¥148.0 million and basic EPS loss of C¥1,200.49 per share sit alongside H2 2024 half year net loss of C¥147.3 million and EPS loss of C¥1,142.03, so recent periods still show heavy losses even if the most recent half year looks lighter.
    • The 2.6% average annual reduction in losses over five years is relatively modest compared with the size of the trailing 12 month loss, which means the bearish focus on profitability pressure is still strongly grounded in the figures provided.

38.4x P/S multiple versus 1.2x peers

  • Token Cat is trading on a P/S of 38.4x, compared with a peer average of 1.2x and a US Media industry average of 1.1x, so the stock is priced at a much higher sales multiple than comparable companies while still reporting a trailing 12 month net loss of C¥148.0 million.
  • Critics point to this high multiple as a bearish valuation signal, and the current fundamentals back up that concern:
    • With trailing 12 month revenue of C¥36.6 million and no positive earnings to support a P/E metric, investors only have this elevated P/S against loss making operations to frame valuation against the current share price of C¥9.55.
    • The combination of a 38.4x P/S and continuing net losses over multiple reported periods means the bearish view that the stock is expensive relative to its financial profile is closely aligned with the reported data.

Shareholder dilution and older financials add extra risk

  • Substantial shareholder dilution over the past year, alongside financial reports that are more than six months old, sits on top of trailing 12 month revenue of C¥36.6 million and a net loss of C¥148.0 million, so recent shareholders have seen both ownership impact and a lag in fresh financial detail.
  • What stands out for a more cautious, bearish narrative is how these capital structure and reporting points compound the loss making profile:
    • Dilution means each share now represents a smaller claim on the same C¥36.6 million of trailing revenue and C¥148.0 million loss, which can matter even more when a company is not yet profitable.
    • The fact that the analysis is based on financials older than six months means investors are leaning heavily on these historical numbers when weighing risks tied to capital needs and ongoing losses.
