Why UPXI Stock dropped -7.39% Today — RQD Quant Desk Flash

The Roarable RQD rating assigns UPXI a score of 33 out of 100 with a letter grade of E, labeled "Roarable Strong Sell — Forensic Risk / Avoid" (per the Roarable RQD rating). Across the five pillars, the Fundamental Cash Engine scores 3/20, reflecting ROIC of -20.3% and an FCF yield of -12.19%, which indicates the business is currently consuming rather than generating cash relative to its market value. Whale 13F Flow scores 12/20 for institutional accumulation and options positioning, the strongest pillar, suggesting some institutional interest despite weak fundamentals. Insider Conviction scores 3/20 based on SEC Form 4 and Congressional PTR cluster flow, indicating limited insider signaling of confidence. Macro Regime Fit scores 10/20 with a Beta of 1.0 and sector sensitivity noted. Forensic Balance Sheet scores 5/20, reflecting an Altman Z-Score of 2.5, a Piotroski F-Score of 3/9, and a Debt/Equity of 0.5. For a prospective investor evaluating the stock today, the upside drivers are limited to the institutional flow signal; the valuation tradeoff is that the share price of $0.76 sits against negative returns on capital and cash flow, and the forensic indicators point to elevated risk. The rating's verdict is to avoid, and the investor implication is that any thesis must rest on a turnaround the current source data does not document.

Per the SEC financials, the company reported operating losses across all three periods, with the operating margin at -60% and net margin at -60% (per the market data). The gross margin is listed as 0%. Per the Roarable RQD rating, the Altman Z-Score is 2.5, the Piotroski F-Score is 3/9, and Debt/Equity is 0.5; ROIC is -20.3%. Cash and debt balances by period are reported as N/A in the SEC financials.
