Valuation models

We value Socket Mobile, Inc. as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 10.4%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 1.21 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Value per share by model
Model Value per share In the combined value?
Revenue-to-maturity model Revenue grown to maturity with the cash margin moving to the industry's; for companies not yet profitable. ~$0.6 ~$0.6–$0.8 Primary model, counts double
Price-to-earnings vs peers Earnings per share times peers' typical (harmonic-mean) price-to-earnings. — Does not apply: no positive earnings in the latest twelve months
Residual income Book value plus the present value of returns above the cost of equity, fading over ten years. — Does not apply: the model gives no positive value
Justified price-to-book Book value times (return on equity - growth) / (cost of equity - growth): steady-state returns. — Does not apply: return on equity is not positive
Price-to-sales vs peers Sales per share times peers' typical price-to-sales; used only when earnings are negative. ~$0.5 ~$1.3–$4.8 Included, half weight
Combined value Weighted average of the models that apply: the primary model (revenue-to-maturity model) counts double. Models more than 5x or less than 0.2x the share price, or more than 3x away from the other models' median, are left out. ~$0.6 ~$0.5–$0.6 2 models

Different models fail in different ways, so where several apply we average them rather than trust one. Peer-based models compare Socket Mobile, Inc. with Technology Hardware, Storage & Peripherals in our coverage, using third-party market data.

Moat

38 /100

Weak moat

How hard Socket Mobile's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 0 / 20

    Net income has been a median -4.8% of total assets over 10 years.

  • Pricing power 18 / 20

    Gross margin has been a median 51.6%, moving by 1.7 percentage points (standard deviation) across 10 years.

  • Durability 10 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median -7.8%; its worst year was -26.1%.

  • Cash conversion 5 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 5 of 10 years, at a median 0.7% of revenue.

  • Discipline 10 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 14.0% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 3.3% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (43 before it).

Consensus figures average analysts' published estimates (third-party data); guidance is the company's own. Neither is our forecast. Short interest is reported twice a month and lags. Market data may be delayed.

Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Growth is left blank when last year's figure was a loss or under 2% of revenue. Share counts and EPS are restated for stock splits. A dash means the company didn't report the figure.
