Monitor the company's first quarterly earnings as a public company for guidance on deploying IPO proceeds and progress toward resolving the CBLR leverage ratio deficiency. The low-end pricing suggests modest initial demand, but strong underlying fundamentals (net income doubled in FY2025) could support upside. Watch for insider selling after the 180-day lock-up expiration.
