The widening net loss and declining adjusted EBITDA signal deteriorating core profitability despite cross-platform growth. The lack of 2026 guidance and the upcoming investor call on May 29 create uncertainty. Traders should watch for any strategic update or restructuring announcement on the call that could clarify the path to profitability.
