Current thesis
The bull read is that Q1 showed better underlying quality than the GAAP headline: gross margin expanded to 20.4%, adjusted EBITDA margin reached 12.5%, liquidity was $73.5 million, term debt was under 1x trailing adjusted EBITDA, and management did not cut 2026 sales or gross-margin outlook.

What changed

What can break
Customer schedules are short-cycle; the 10-K says backlog is effectively based on about four weeks of expected shipments, limiting forward visibility [#10-K-2026-03-10].
