There are no warrants left to exercise, the issue with this stock is whether they stop selling shares under the ATM program:
“NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Common Stock
We sold an aggregate of 2,524,200 shares of common stock under our ATM equity program between October 1, 2021 and November 10, 2021, at an average price of $2.50 per share, for gross proceeds of $6.3 million and net proceeds of $6.1 million, after deducting commissions and other offering expenses. As of November 10, 2021, we had $45.0 million available to be sold under our ATM equity program.”
“ On September 30, 2021, we entered into Addendum 1 to the collaboration agreement with Murata ("Addendum 1"), which amends and supplements the collaboration agreement to provide for the development of XBAR®-based designs for up to four additional bands. For rights to these additional bands, Murata has agreed to pay us a $4.0 million non-refundable upfront payment and up to an aggregate of between $8.0 million and $36.0 million in pre-paid royalties and other fees, with the amount of the aggregate payments determined based on the complexity of the filter designs selected for development. The future payments will be made in two installments per band over a multi-year development period, with each installment conditional upon our achievement of certain milestones and deliverables acceptable to Murata in its discretion. Murata retains the right to terminate the collaboration agreement and Addendum 1 at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to us.”
“As of September 30, 2021, we have raised aggregate gross proceeds of $149.6 million through the use of loans and convertible debt, and sales of equity pursuant to our initial public offering, secondary underwritten offerings, an at-the-market equity program, private placement financings, and the exercise of stock options and warrants.
We had current assets of $20.1 million and current liabilities of $6.4 million at September 30, 2021, resulting in working capital of $13.7 million. This compares to working capital of $14.7 million at September 30, 2020 and $19.8 million at December 31, 2020.”
“At September 30, 2021 we had cash and cash equivalents of $15.3 million and accounts receivable of $4.3 million. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, but prior to the publication of the financial statements on this Form 10-Q, we raised $6.1 million of cash from sales of common stock using our At-The-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement. In the absence of additional customer contracts, we believe these cash resources, along with anticipated cash generated from existing customer contracts, will provide sufficient funding into the fourth quarter of 2022.”

Great asset/liability ratios, the SP decreased because Q3 revenues were down year over year as of September 30, but they just had a 7 million dollar payment for licensing, which is 20x Q3 revenues, and that is just one payment of many in the future, this stock should increase substantially therefore.

Resonant Receives Upfront Royalty Pre-payments of $7.0 Million
Resonant Inc. (NASDAQ: RESN), a provider of radio frequency (RF) filter solutions developed on a robust intellectual property platform, designed to connect People and Things, has received payments totaling $7.0 million for initial pre-paid royalties. The payments were received pursuant to the terms of the recently expanded multi-year commercial partnership with the world's largest RF Filter manufacturer whereby Resonant's XBAR technology will be leveraged to design RF filters for next-generation networks.
"These payments are a part of a series of prepaid royalties for the first of four new RF filter designs, representing the advancement of our XBAR partnership," said George B. Holmes, Chairman and CEO of Resonant. "By expanding the strategic agreement to now include a total of eight RF filter designs, our companies are demonstrating a mutual commitment to unlock the true performance of next-generation mobile networks with innovative filters based on XBAR technology. We look forward to sharing these important partnership milestones that will continue to enhance shareholder value."

About Resonant's XBAR Filter Technology
Resonant pioneered a novel Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) filter technology, XBAR, to meet the challenging and complex RF front-end requirements of next-generation 5G, Wi-Fi and UWB networks and beyond. 4G BAW filter structures have traditionally been used at frequencies up to 3GHz and adapted to filter higher frequency bands, which has presented significant performance and capability challenges. Using WaveX(TM), Resonant evaluated various resonator, filter building blocks for wide-bandwidth, high-frequency and high-power filter designs. XBAR was the result of these extensive studies - the optimal next-generation filter technology.
XBAR is the first and only RF filter solution that has natively demonstrated the performance necessary to fully realize the potential of next-generation wireless technologies, including 5G and Wi-Fi 6/6E. In addition, future wireless networks will continue to move to wider bandwidths, higher frequencies and added complexity, which will further increase the demand for XBAR filters. Unlike traditional BAW filters which require complex, multi-step manufacturing processes, XBAR filters are much simpler to manufacture and hence can leverage SAW foundries.
Resonant continues to protect XBAR technology through the fundamental patents and trade secrets associated with a disruptive technology, in addition to the intellectual property associated with know-how and expertise developed subsequently.
About Resonant's WaveX(TM) Design Technology
Resonant creates designs for difficult RF frequency bands and modules that meet challenging and complex 5G, Wi-Fi and UWB RF front-end requirements. Using WaveX(TM), Resonant's designs have the potential to be developed in half the time and manufactured at a lower cost than traditional approaches. WaveX(TM) is a suite of proprietary algorithms, software design tools and network synthesis techniques that enables Resonant to explore a much larger set of possible design solutions.
Resonant delivers rapid design simulations to its customers, which they manufacture in their captive fabs or have manufactured by one of Resonant's foundry partners. These improved solutions still use Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) or Temperature Compensated Surface Acoustic Wave (TC-SAW) technologies with the performance of higher cost manufacturing methods like Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW).
Resonant's WaveX(TM) delivers excellent predictability, enabling achievement of the desired product performance in roughly half as many turns through the fab. In addition, Resonant's simulations model fundamental material and structure properties, which makes integration with foundry and fab customers much more intuitive, because they speak the "fab language" of basic material properties and dimensions.”

2 5G Stocks Trading Under $5; Analysts Say ‘Buy’ TipRanks
"Needham's 5-star analyst Rajvindra Gill is impressed with Resonant’s forward potential, writing, “We are still in the earliest innings of the 5G deployment cycle, with most cycles peaking 13-14 years after initial launch (2019 for 5G). The maximum potential of 5G, which is both speed and latency gains, will not be possible without new filter technology on both transmitters (base stations, routers) and receivers (consumer devices). Resonant has developed a new generation of filter that uses old production methods, which are lower cost and have a wider production base, and could gain significant traction as new filters becomes a requirement to maximize the potential of 5G globally.”
The analyst added, "The stock has underperformed the SOX... and is now trading at~10x EV/Sales on our 2022 estimate, slightly higher than its 8x 3-year median. We believe this underperformance brings an opportunity to buy shares at an attractive price, with over 100% upside... one of the largest in our coverage universe."
Unsurprisingly, Gill rates RESN a Buy, and his $6.25 price target implies a one-year upside potential of ~115%.

Given the lackluster performance of this stock the last two days with the recent what appeared to be a company-hyped stellar Q update, I was forced to dig a little deeper into the DD...😏
My take (and it is MINE only), the filters being shipped by RESN's customers using WaveX technology are not generating much of an initial income impact- most likely due to the type (cheapness) of the filters being used. I have found that cell phones, for instance, contain as many as 60 different filters and they range in price (cost) from a nickle (0.05) on up. If RESN's customers are using RESN's WaveX technology on low-end filters, there won't be much up-front revenue and I think the numbers bear that out. That said, trying out new tech IS a gamble and companies looking for cutting edge advantages are not going to go out on a limb and experiment with their high-end products initially. Is this what has happened here? Don't know as I stated before- this is MY take.
My guess is RESN is relying on their XBAR technology to be the linchpin of their money generating portfolio for the future. Until then, their current revenue stream will not be recognized for some time as they are relying on royalty payments for the past two quarter sales and have not disclosed (that I can find) when or how often those payments are/will be made. *****Hence their disclosure statement on the News Release the other day: "...a majority of Resonant’s revenues are based on prepaid royalty contracts, which generate immediate cash but may have delayed revenue recognition. As a result, we continue to expect non-linear revenue amounts in subsequent quarters.
Hell, it could a year before we see recognized revenue in the quarterly statements from these initial runs of filters imo.
All that said, my opinion of the PR is that it only confirmed ONE thing- they ARE accurate in their time-line predictions. The pic below is from a webcast back in Q1 (?May). You can see their predictions for Q2 were spot on:
In conclusion, my take (again ONLY mine) is that there is nothing to "look" at here at the moment... we are still waiting for the big catalyst that pushes RESN over the top and this is still a development-stage company looking to break out. For the moment, I'm still satisfied with my position (avg'd @ $3.15) but more importantly, I still like the risk/reward potential. Make no mistake, the risks are significant imo. Another raise is all but guaranteed later this year based on their cash-burn imo, but could be mitigated with a strong confirmation of continued ongoing progress/success. We'll see.

"Resonant slips after reporting preliminary update for Q221
Jul. 07, 2021 12:06 PM ETResonant Inc. (RESN)By: Preeti Singh, SA News Editor
Resonant (RESN -3.1%) is trading down after it provided a preliminary corporate update for Q221.
In Q2: Resonant’s customers shipped a record 17.5M radio frequency (RF) filters designed using the company’s WaveX design technology, up ~450% Y/Y and ~104% sequentially.
Over 79M RF filter units with Resonant designs have been shipped to-date.
As of June 30, 2021, Resonant's patent portfolio grew to over 350 patents, over 200 of which are related to the firm's proprietary XBAR and high frequency technologies. The company held over 300 total patents at the end of 2020 of which over 150 focused on XBAR.
Q2 Revenue are expected to total $0.6M, in line with the revenue reported in the same quarter a year ago.
As of June 30, 2021, deferred revenues are expected to be $0.8M.
The company had cash and cash equivalents of ~$22.7M by the end of June 2021.
Outlook: Resonant expects significant year-on-year revenue growth for the full year 2021.
CEO comment: "We delivered second quarter financial results in-line with previously issued guidance. Our customers cumulatively exceeded the milestone of shipping 75M RF filters designed with our WaveX technology during the second quarter, demonstrating the continued demand for our innovative RF filter designs. We are also continuing to build momentum with our XBAR technology for non-mobile applications, and we expect to secure partnerships in these high growth segments before year-end. As a reminder, a majority of Resonant’s revenues are based on prepaid royalty contracts, which generate immediate cash but may have delayed revenue recognition."

between $5 and $10 now depending on sector sentiment (and growth is getting beaten up, so probably closer to $5 now). In a few quarters, well over $10 unless we go bear market.
These prices are an anti-perfect storm.
Growth stocks hammered as people look for reopening value.
Valued on trailing earnings just before it hits a nonlinear growth point.
Best in class answer to 5G and high end WiFi. Given the number of recruiters that have hit me up to become a filter designer again, the advantages of their software and design patents would make it reasonable for them to bundle licenses to designs with contract design services. Skyworks, Qorvo, RF360, and others are all facing brick walls hiring SAW/BAW filter people. Severalof them have said in their financials that that are human resource limited across their engineering needs and it is limiting growth.
