Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The revenue uplift, large cash balance, and backlogs reduce downside risk and support multiple expansion if the Fab 2 ramp and deployment milestones hit targets; precedent from similar quantum/photonic holo-adapters shows stock reacts positively to tangible backlog and deployment milestones, though dilution/expense pull can temper near-term move.
