Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The combination of improved gross margins, backlog expansion, and a transformative acquisition creating recurring revenue should support a re-rating of BLDP if the GeoPura closing proceeds smoothly; near-term upside hinges on regulatory closings and integration success, with longer-term upside from profitability by 2027.
