**Spark’s Take on OKYO Stock**

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, OKYO is a Neutral.

The score is primarily held down by weak financial fundamentals (pre-revenue, ongoing losses, negative free cash flow, and negative equity) and bearish technicals (below key moving averages with negative MACD). Improved 2025 cost control and a debt-free balance sheet provide only limited offset.
