The 82% revenue surge and guidance for positive full-year Adjusted EBITDA signal a potential turnaround, but the cash burn and derivative losses are concerning. Watch for Q2 operating cash flow improvement and whether the $25M customer-funded expansion materializes. The stock may trade on the revenue growth narrative near-term, but sustained profitability is needed for a re-rating.
