The company has now posted two consecutive quarters of net losses after being profitable in 2025, with operating losses widening as lease-up costs at development properties continue to pressure margins. Monitor Q3 for stabilization of property operating expenses and progress on development property lease-up, as the current trajectory suggests continued cash burn without a clear catalyst for improvement.
