Actionable Insight ▼ Bearish

Monitor copper price trends and public-sector contract execution for revenue sustainability. The negative operating cash flow and inventory build warrant close watch on working capital management. The diluted EPS trajectory is a key concern given the February 2026 equity issuance.

Executive Summary
