The company opened 155 net stores (total 3,624) and added a distribution center, expanding to 21 regions.

Lock-up expiration Aug 6, 2026 may increase float and near-term volatility.
Equity follow-on expenses and SBP impacts create near-term earnings headwinds.

Sentiment rationale

Strong top-line growth and ongoing expansion support a positive fundamental view, but reported net loss and near-term dilution risk from lock-up expiry temper upside. Historical peers often exhibit volatility around lock-ups and dilution events even when fundamentals look solid.
