- Capstone Holding Corp. raised $3.25M via convertible notes to acquire a $15M/year stone distributor, advancing its 2026 $100M revenue target through aggressive M&A. - The $10M financing facility features 7% interest, 8.34% discount, and $1.10 conversion price, enabling strategic flexibility while maintaining balance-sheet strength. - Despite four accretive acquisitions this year, Capstone faces financial risks: -8.06% net margin, 0.43 quick ratio, and a -4.49 Altman Z-Score signaling potential bankruptcy

Capstone Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:CAPS) has drawn $3.25 million from its $10 million convertible note facility to support the purchase of a stone distributor operating across multiple locations, which generates around $15 million in yearly sales. This deal, anticipated to immediately boost both revenue and EBITDA, highlights Capstone’s proactive acquisition approach and its goal to achieve a $100 million annual revenue run-rate by 2026. The funding arrangement features quarterly cash repayments starting after 90 days and a set conversion price of $1.10 per share, demonstrating Capstone’s careful capital management, according to a

.

This initiative has received positive feedback from institutional investors. CEO Matthew Lipman noted that the financing enables the company to "act swiftly when promising opportunities appear, while maintaining financial flexibility and a strong balance sheet." The acquisition fits into Capstone’s broader plan to grow its building products distribution network, which includes Instone, a supplier of thin veneer stone and masonry materials. So far this year, Capstone has completed four acquisitions that have contributed positively to both revenue and EBITDA, further strengthening its standing in the Basic Materials industry, as reported by

The convertible note facility terms include an original issue discount of 8.34%, a 7.0% annual interest rate, and a maturity date set for July 29, 2026. Any further withdrawals from the facility require agreement from both parties, giving Capstone the flexibility to modify deal terms as necessary, according to a

. However, Capstone’s financial position is mixed. While the company reports a $43.38 million revenue run rate, its revenue has dropped by 30.5% over the past three years. A net margin of -8.06% and a quick ratio of 0.43 point to ongoing profitability issues and limited short-term liquidity, as outlined in a .

With an Altman Z-Score of -4.49, Capstone falls within the "distress zone," indicating a heightened risk of bankruptcy within the next two years. Still, the company’s recent capital infusion and acquisition activity indicate a strategy focused on addressing these risks through targeted expansion. With a market cap near $7 million, Capstone must work to enhance its operations and grow its revenue to reach its 2026 objectives, as highlighted in the GuruFocus review.
