The large EPS miss and widening net loss are concerning, but the record bookings and raised guidance signal underlying operational momentum. Monitor the August 20 asset sale offer expiration for debt reduction impact, and watch for any integration cost updates in the next 10-Q. The stock may face short-term pressure from the miss, but the raised EBITDA guide could provide a floor.
