Equity.Guru’s own Chris Parry, sat down back at the end of April and gave his thoughts on EasTower Wireless and what the company held in terms of potential for investors:
EasTower reported $1.10 million USD in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022, with $425,061 in revenues and gross profit of $218,670 for the quarter ending March 31, 2022, for a net loss of $2.23 million or -$0.061 per share.

The company’s revenue model consists of an upfront cost of $75,000 to have a crew fully trained, certified, licensed & operating. This results in approximately $17,000 per crew (four personnel) per week (43 weeks per year) equaling top line revenue of over $730,000 annually for each crew.
EasTower committed to having a target of six operating crews by August and 10 crews by October 2022. It went on state in its presentation that it brings in a healthy average gross margin of 37% to 52%.
The company has projected a run-rate breakeven by the end of Q4 2022.
Currently EasTower Wireless trades at $0.04 CAD per share for a market cap of $2.41 million.
