Tucows Inc. has faced significant challenges recently, particularly with its return on invested capital (ROIC) falling into negative territory over the past three years. The company's core business has been overshadowed by the rise of satellite internet, complicating the establishment of a competitive moat around its domain services. Despite witnessing an 8.7% increase in sales and a 30.3% rise in gross profit during Q1, the company struggles with substantial debt of $456 million compared to its cash reserves of $79 million. Moreover, negative cash flow in 2023 raises concerns about its financial health, leading experts to recommend reconsidering any investment in the stock until ROIC improves significantly.
