Commentary

Market tone is cautious: management has disclosed cost actions and equity-plan activity, which has mixed investor implications (cost upside vs. dilution) [#SERP-4] [#8-K-2026-04-02]. Coverage is sparse and analyst targets vary widely, producing uncertainty despite identified near-term savings [#SERP-1].
