Monitor stockholder vote on the merger and conditions for the notes' escrow release. The estimated Q3 2026 revenue growth of ~9-10% and Adj. EBITDA margin expansion of ~40-90 bps YoY suggest improving operational momentum, but the 4.5x pro forma leverage signals near-term credit risk. Watch for definitive agreements on the near-term and additional potential acquisitions.
