8-K Item 2.02: Earnings release
Actionable Insight ▼ Bearish

Despite management's optimistic guidance for 2026, the significant revenue decline in 2025 suggests ongoing pricing pressures that may be difficult to overcome. Traders should monitor whether the company can achieve its ambitious 2026 EBITDA target of over $300 million given the revenue headwinds. The increased cash position provides some buffer, but the fundamental trend remains negative.
