Per the Roarable RQD rating, IPM scores 42 out of 100, grade D-, labeled "Roarable Sell — Vulnerable Balance Sheet & Flow." The five pillars are: Fundamental Cash Engine at 8/20 (ROIC of -29.6% and FCF yield of 5.13%), Whale 13F Flow at 7/20 (institutional accumulation and options positioning), Insider Conviction at 9/20 (SEC Form 4 and Congressional PTR cluster flow), Macro Regime Fit at 8/20 (Beta of 1.0 and sector sensitivity), and Forensic Balance Sheet at 10/20 (Altman Z 0.33, Piotroski F 7/9, Debt/Equity 0.5). Every pillar sits below half its maximum, which signals weakness across returns, ownership flow, insider behavior, macro fit, and balance-sheet resilience at once. For a prospective investor, the most important implication is the low Altman Z-Score of 0.33, which the RQD framework treats as a distress-type reading, paired with a negative ROIC. The FCF yield of 5.13% and a Piotroski F-Score of 7/9 are the main offsetting strengths cited in the data. Upside drivers would need to come from a turnaround in operating economics or from the pending acquisition described in the news section; the source data does not show whether that transaction changes the cash engine. Valuation is difficult to judge because P/E, Forward P/E, EV/EBITDA, and EPS are not available in source data, so the market price of $1.72 cannot be benchmarked against earnings. This brief is educational and is not personalized financial advice.
Per the Butterfly Supply-Chain Graph and profile, Intelligent Protection Management Corp. is a NASDAQ-listed issuer in the Technology sector, Computer Software: Programming Data Processing industry. Per the SEC financials, the company reported FY 2025 revenue of $23.6M against FY 2024 revenue of $1.1M, which indicates a sharp change in scale between the two periods. Not available in source data for a detailed description of products, customer base, or specific revenue model. The source data does not describe how the company generates revenue beyond its sector classification.
| Period | Revenue | Operating Income | Net Income | EPS | FCF | Cash | Debt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY 2025 | $23.6M | $-4.7M | $-2.0M | N/A | $0.8M | $5.6M | N/A |
| FY 2024 | $1.1M | $-5.1M | $-8.4M | N/A | $-3.0M | $10.6M | N/A |
| FY 2023 | $1.0M | $-3.7M | $-1.1M | N/A | $-1.1M | N/A | N/A |
Per the market data, gross margin is 52.3%, operating margin is -20%, and net margin is -8.3%, with ROIC at -29.6%. Per the Roarable RQD rating, the Altman Z-Score is 0.33 and the Piotroski F-Score is 7/9, with Debt/Equity at 0.5. Cash declined from $10.6M in FY 2024 to $5.6M in FY 2025 per the SEC financials. The FY 2025 net loss narrowed to $-2.0M from $-8.4M, while operating income remained negative.
Per the recent news feed, the dominant catalyst is a definitive agreement to acquire the Advanced Technology Distributors business, reported across several outlets; one headline puts the transaction at up to $2.7 million. Another headline describes the acquisition as involving an AdTech IT services business. Each item carries a YELLOW light and MARKET WIRE impact label. A Simply Wall St item referenced the company's cash burn. Per the Butterfly Supply-Chain Graph, the supply chain is NONE and there are no butterfly links or proprietary signals. Watch items include whether the acquisition is accretive given the negative operating margin and whether cash of $5.6M is sufficient for the company's burn rate.
Per the Butterfly Supply-Chain Graph, supply_chain is NONE and butterfly_links is empty, so no upstream or downstream dependencies are mapped. Not available in source data for sector correlation metrics. Investors should watch for second-order effects from the pending acquisition on revenue mix and cash, since the news wire links the transaction to the company's own services business.

Welcome to the IPM (Intelligent Protection Management Corp.) Roar Pit. Current RQD Composite is 42/100 (Roarable Sell — Vulnerable Balance Sheet & Flow) in Computer Software: Programming Data Processing. Bulls point to operating leverage and sector positioning, while bears focus on macro rate sensitivity and margin execution. Pick your side (🐂 Bull or 🐻 Bear) and drop your price target below.
Everyone in here is repeating the bull case on IPM, but look at what you are paying: current EV/EBITDA multiples with 52.3% gross margins. Unless Intelligent Protection Management Corp. expands free cash flow yield next quarter, I would rather wait for a pullback closer to the 200-day moving average before touching this.
Looking at the 5-pillar RQD breakdown on IPM, the market is fixating on short-term headline noise in Computer Software: Programming Data Processing and ignoring the balance sheet and cash flow trajectory. At $1.72 (52-wk range $1.37 - $2.19), any beat on forward guidance forces shorts and underweight funds to chase.
