What they do
Emerson Radio sells housewares, audio gear, and other small electronics under the Emerson name.
Licensing → renting the brand name → the company can collect fees without building every box itself. You have 23 employees and $11M of annual revenue, so the whole machine is small enough that one weak retailer can matter. That is a lean model, not a fortress.

It sells into a crowded category where VOXX posts $543M in revenue versus Emerson's $6.6M trailing figure. Scale is not on your side.

That is tiny, so one weak order from a retailer can matter fast.

operating margin
For every $1 of sales, about $0.52 disappeared in operating losses.

Twenty-three employees tells you the whole operation is run with a very small staff.

Beta → how much the stock swings with the market → 0.75 means it has moved less than the market on paper, but the $8M size still makes trades matter.

the number that mattered
The $5M revenue figure mattered most because it shows the company can grow fast from a tiny base, even while it stays unprofitable.

What could go wrong
the #1 risk is the collapse in trailing revenue to $6.6M.
high
Revenue collapse
Trailing revenue is $6.6M, down 53% from a year ago. That is the core business shrinking, not just quarterly noise.
A smaller revenue base leaves less room to absorb fixed costs.
high
Chronic unprofitability
Net margin is -79%. In plain English: the company loses $0.79 for every $1 it brings in.
If losses stay anywhere near this level, time works against you.
med
No pricing power
Gross margin is 8.4% versus 26.9% at VOXX. Same broad industry. Very different ability to hold price.
Without margin repair, a turnaround on revenue alone will not fix the model.
med
Micro-cap illiquidity
The stock trades at about $0.38 with an ~$8M market cap and a 52-week range of $0–$1. Small trades can create big moves.
Volatility can come from the tape itself, not from a change in business value.
A company with $6.6M in trailing revenue, 8.4% gross margin, and a -79% profit margin has almost no buffer for another miss.

Pay attention to
metric
trailing revenue
The current run rate is $6.6M, down 53% from a year ago. You need to see stabilization here before any turnaround story deserves your time.
risk
post-effective amendment filing
A registration statement amendment is already on file. On an ~$8M market cap, any capital-markets move can matter more than product news.

earnings calendar quality
The page shows Feb 11, 2026 as the estimated earnings date even though this snapshot is updated Mar 13, 2026. When the calendar looks stale, go to filings first.
trend
gross margin gap
Emerson sits at 8.4% gross margin versus 26.9% at VOXX. If that gap stays wide, the brand is not doing much economic work.
Analyst rankings
earnings predictability
40 / 100
Low predictability means the business is hard to model. In human-speak, the next report can still surprise you in the wrong direction.
beta
0.75
Beta: 0.75. That suggests the stock has moved a bit less than the market, but micro-cap liquidity can make single days weird anyway.
