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

The EPS miss and lack of guidance reinforce the pre-revenue development-stage risk. Monitor venue openings (Broken Arrow fall 2026, McKinney Q1 2027) and Luxe FireSuite sales conversion for revenue inflection. The $86.25M raise provides runway but dilutes existing holders by ~34%.
