Current thesis
Ex-litigation operations were not as weak as the GAAP headline implies: gross margin rose to 49.3%, pricing/mix remained favorable, inventory normalized, cash was $164.1 million, and the company still expects better shipment performance later in 2026 with second-half-weighted launches and advertising [#8-K-2026-04-30].

Sentiment
What changed
Sentiment remains the lead driver in the composite, 7D delta +19.7.
What can break
Supplier litigation remains a major overhang: the company recorded $216.0 million pre-tax of litigation-related expense and said it cannot estimate when or if damages or interest will ultimately be paid, even though it plans post-trial motions and appeal [#8-K-2026-04-30].
