Is Intuitive Machines Inc. making money or losing money?
No, Intuitive Machines Inc. is currently not making money — the company is losing money with a negative profit margin of -32.7%, a substantial loss. That means the business loses money on every dollar of revenue. For growth stocks investing in expansion this is normal — but it raises the risk if the company does not reach break-even before its capital runs out.
Can Intuitive Machines Inc. go bankrupt?
The bankruptcy risk of Intuitive Machines Inc. is rated as elevated. Altman Z2 (a model for assessing financial distress) is -1.15 — that places the company in the weak zone. This is a probability based on the numbers, not a verdict — bankruptcy is not imminent.

Industrial companies often sit at 100-200% because of heavy production assets and long order books. Note: D/E levels are highly sector-specific — a bank at 300% debt is normal, a tech stock at 300% is extremely leveraged. Always compare with similar companies in the same sector.
