Broken: Primary pillar broken — Achieve positive EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in 2026: EBITDA not reported.
OSS aims for 20% to 25% revenue growth in 2026. The company targets a 40% gross margin this year. OSS plans to achieve positive EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in 2026. Recent acquisition and earnings beat show some progress.
Revenue is expected to decline about 6% next year. The company is loss-making with negative operating income in Q1. The recent sharp selloff reflects market doubts about execution and growth.
The price is about 10% below our fair value near $15. Analysts expect about 6% revenue decline, which matches the market's cautious view. Our fair value is 14% below the Street median, reflecting skepticism on growth.
Breaks if: gross margin falls below mid-cycle level near 30% in FY26
Maintain and improve gross margin through profitable revenue mix, engineering efficiencies, and manufacturing absorption.
This is not a price target or investment advice.
A long-form read on the 1–3 year hold thesis. It updates when the weekly evidence changes.
This investment represents a turnaround opportunity. OSS is currently loss-making but has set ambitious targets for revenue growth and profitability, which management is working towards amidst a backdrop of weak recent performance.
The market appears to be pricing in a low level of fragility, suggesting that expectations are somewhat justified given the company's current performance. OSS is seen as cheap compared to its peers, but there is a notable expectations gap that could impact future performance.
Management is on track to achieve its revenue and gross margin targets, but the path to positive EBITDA remains mixed. The near-term risk of missing expectations is present, especially given the company's smaller size and recent history of misses.
The long-term thesis hinges on OSS's ability to meet its growth and profitability targets while navigating potential headwinds, such as guidance cuts or broader market conditions. Positive developments in the tech sector and changes in interest rates could also significantly influence performance.
