How many shares exist, over time, exactly as the company reported in its own filings. In microcaps, a rising share count is how holders pay for everything: salaries, debts, and bad deals. Sudden collapses in the line are reverse splits, marked below.

CHECKING OFFICIAL SPLIT RECORDS…
Type how many shares you hold. The math is plain division on the company's own reported counts.
Cash in the bank against how fast the company burns it. When this hits zero, the next stop is usually a desperate raise at bad terms, and existing holders pay through dilution.
RUNWAY = CASH ON HAND ÷ MONTHLY CASH BURN. SIMPLE ARITHMETIC ON THE COMPANY'S OWN REPORTED NUMBERS, NOT A PROJECTION.

When something material happens, the company itself must announce it in an 8-K under the SEC's numbered item system. These are those announcements, newest first: bankruptcy papers, exchange delisting warnings, auditor changes, financials pulled back. Read straight from the SEC filing index, no interpretation layer.

EACH BAR IS ONE REPORTED QUARTER. GREEN = MOST RECENT QUARTER GREW VS THE ONE BEFORE.
An 8-K is the "something happened right now" filing. Here is what this one says, in the company's own words.
As disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 25, 2026 (the “June 25th Current Report”), and other recent Current Reports on Form 8-K (together with the June 25th Current Report, the “Prior Current Reports”), America's Car-Mart, Inc. (the "Company") entered into the First Amendment and Limited Waiver to Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Amendment") with Silver Point Finance, LLC, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (the "Agent"), and the lenders party thereto (collectively, the "Lenders"), amending and providing certain limited waivers under the Credit and Guaranty Ag...

The Company believes it has made significant progress towards a transaction and that discussions remain active with third-parties, the Agent, and the Lenders. As described in the Prior Current Reports, the Company has experienced, or anticipates experiencing, events of default under the Credit Agreement, inc...
A rules-based reading of the cited filing facts: a range with reasons, never a prediction.
HOW THE BRACKET IS BUILT: TRAILING EARNINGS OF $6.16/SHARE AT 10.0-18.0X · BOOK EQUITY OF $45.15/SHARE AS A SUPPORT LEVEL · CASH FLOOR: $3.30/SHARE IN A WIND-DOWN.
Share count is stable-ish (+0.1% change between the last two reported quarters).
Fair-value range anchored to cited facts: $1.49 to $110.83 per share.
The filings do not report usable cash and operating-burn figures, so runway could not be computed for this verdict.
Revenue fell 49.2% period over period.
Verified going-concern warnings in a recent filing: auditors or management flagged substantial doubt about continuing (document text checked, boilerplate excluded).
METHOD: DETERMINISTIC RULES OVER CITED SEC FILING FACTS: SHARE-COUNT CHANGE BETWEEN THE LAST TWO REPORTED QUARTERS (DILUTION), CASH-TO-BURN RUNWAY FROM THE MOST RECENT OPERATING CASH FLOW, PERIOD-OVER-PERIOD REVENUE GROWTH, AND A FAIR-VALUE RANGE ANCHORED TO CASH PER SHARE VS PRICE. THRESHOLDS ARE TUNABLE IN APP/VERDICT_ENGINE.PY. NOT A PREDICTION.
Every time an officer, director or big owner trades shares, the law makes them file a Form 4 within two business days. We read the actual filings: who traded, what kind of trade, how big, at what price.
NO OPEN-MARKET BUYS OR SELLS: JUST COMPENSATION PAPER. WATCH WHETHER THE GRANTS TURN INTO SALES ONCE THEY VEST. "10B5-1 PLAN" MEANS THE TRADE WAS SCHEDULED UNDER A PRE-SET TRADING PLAN, DISCLOSED IN THE FILING'S OWN FOOTNOTES: PRE-PLANNED SALES CARRY LESS SIGNAL THAN SPUR-OF-THE-MOMENT ONES.
