Monitor the final IPO pricing and valuation relative to the company's revenue run-rate and net loss trajectory. The heavy reliance on the recently acquired, low-margin sensor business (96% of revenue) and the negative gross margin in Analog Sensors are key risks. The company's debt covenants require minimum revenue of $260M and Adjusted EBITDA of no less than -$16M for FY2026, creating a near-term financial constraint.
