The core business is growing revenue but at deteriorating margins and negative operating leverage. The swing in GAAP earnings is entirely driven by a non-cash investment markdown in Arashi Vision. Monitor the trajectory of gross margin and operating expenses; the new buyback may provide a floor, but the operating loss trend is concerning for a consumer-tech turnaround story.
