The combination of returning to GAAP profitability, strong recurring revenue growth, raised EBITDA guidance, and a new buyback program is a clear positive catalyst for this micro-cap. Watch for continued FST recurring revenue acceleration and margin expansion in subsequent quarters. The CFO transition is orderly and well-communicated, reducing execution risk.
