While C-Bond Systems Inc. generated -$1.6M in operating cash flow, capex of $115K consumed most of it, leaving -$1.7M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.
C-Bond Systems Inc. scores -33.94, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($239K) relative to total liabilities ($6.7M). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

For every $1 of reported earnings, C-Bond Systems Inc. generates $-0.85 in operating cash flow (-$1.6M OCF vs $1.9M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.
