Current thesis
The best current bull evidence is still the company's own April 8 preliminary update: first-quarter 2026 net sales above $90 million, majority driven by China with continued double-digit Americas growth, plus expected meaningful adjusted EBITDA improvement and distributor inventory back in targeted range [#8-K-2026-04-08]. March materials also argued 2026 should show growth, profit expansion, and innovation progress if execution holds [#IR-2026-03-03].
