AI commentary
Primary-source evidence is mixed: the May 14 SEC closure meaningfully removes a legal overhang, but the latest filing set still leaves a cautious balance-sheet and execution backdrop with elevated debt and covenant relief. Analyst coverage is thin and the packet's median target sits below spot, so this remains a monitoring view rather than a strong rerating call.
