Actionable Insight ▼ Bearish

The EPS miss and widening net loss reinforce the bearish thesis, but the sNDA acceptance and strategic review create a binary catalyst by November 2026. Traders should watch for any financing announcement (dilutive) or M&A deal (potentially positive) as the cash runway is limited. The stock is likely to trade on the strategic review outcome and PDUFA date rather than quarterly fundamentals.
