Upturn Advisory & Investor View for INTZ

11/06/2026: INTZ (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Intrusion Inc is a small-cap cybersecurity firm that leverages a decades-old proprietary threat intelligence database to provide real-time network defense through its 'Shield' product. Its primary strength lies in this unique data asset and deep expertise in federal cybersecurity. The company is currently executing a pivot toward AI-managed services, bolstered by its 2026 acquisition of VigilAigent, which aims to accelerate recurring revenue and broaden its partner channel. However, the company faces significant risks, including persistent operating losses, high competition from larger incumbents, and a history of dilutive financing. Intrusion best suits speculative, growth-oriented investors who should closely monitor its progress toward cash flow neutrality and partner growth.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
INTZ receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
INTZ has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid revenue growth (+22.9%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-16.3%), weak cash generation (FCF margin -106.2%), weak profitability (net margin -127.7%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
INTZ's financial health is soft, with the relatively strongest area being moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 23.5%). Cash strength is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is INTZ's strongest growth driver at +22.9% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-16.3%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 5.6% and approximately 81.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 28.75% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
INTZ generates approximately $758 of gross profit, $-1,292 of operating income, and $-1,062 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Operating losses and cash burn explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 0.00%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
INTZ has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
