Reverse-split / listing-compliance risk: HIGH
This is a risk signal, not a prediction. It is separate from Wall Street Score and does not change the company score. It looks for listing-pressure signals such as prolonged Nasdaq trading below $1, very low share price, micro-cap size, negative free cash flow, and verified recent reverse splits.
Risk indicator: 65/100
WSS View
The quick read
The overall Wall Street Score is low across its combined quality, valuation and risk inputs. This can reflect an expensive share price, business weaknesses, or both; check Company Quality and the category breakdown before drawing a conclusion.
At today’s price, the WSS valuation framework currently reads as less attractive based on the available valuation and market data.
The model outlook is currently cautious.
- •Insider activity signal is favorable
- •Recent buyback activity is present
- •MAJOR RED FLAG: Reverse split proposed / authorized
- •CRITICAL: Bankruptcy / liquidation risk
- •Debt service risk
- •Valuation is a weaker part of the current profile
- •Revenue fundamentals are weak

Momentum & Volatility Signals
Two different market-behavior signals. Momentum measures direction and trend strength. Volatility measures how large and unstable the price moves are, regardless of direction.
Strong downward momentum
Elevated movement
A high momentum score means price has been trending upward with confirming short- and medium-term strength. A low score means downward or weakening momentum.
A high volatility score means larger, less stable price swings. It can happen while a stock is rising or falling, so high volatility is not automatically bullish or bearish.
Important: the volatility score above is based on realized price volatility. Implied volatility (IV) comes from options prices and represents the market's expected future movement. Wall Street Score will keep IV separate and will only display it when a verified options-chain feed is available.
Notices for BLIN
Detected from reported data — verify before acting.MAJOR RED FLAG: Reverse split proposed / authorized
A recent SEC filing discusses authorization, approval, or a proposal for a reverse stock split. This is treated as a major distress/listing-risk signal and caps Wall Street Score below 30 while pending.
Supporting filingCRITICAL: Bankruptcy / liquidation risk
A recent SEC filing contains bankruptcy/liquidation language. Wall Street Score is capped at 10.
Supporting filingHistorical repurchase activity
Reported cash flows or share-count measures indicate past repurchase activity. This does not verify an active buyback authorization or future purchases.
Debt service risk
Interest coverage is low (~-19.3x). Earnings may be strained to cover interest expense.
