Expion360 accelerates margin expansion with Forest River OEM expansion and product launch

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
A material gross-margin expansion from 21% to 32.4% in Q2 suggests improved profitability per sale, aided by excluding low-margin items. Forest River OEM expansion increases addressable revenue in the RV market, while the upcoming next-gen battery provides a potential earnings and margin uplift when scaled. Nasdaq compliance reversal and the stock split may provide a short-term re-rating, though cash burn remains a risk.
