Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Near-term profitability remains negative with a Q2 net loss and modest cash; however, execution milestones (site installations, Hopkinsville development, and DRK rebrand) could enable future value if capacity and off-take discussions convert to revenue. Investors will scrutinize progress versus projections and the pace of monetization of existing MW and pipeline.
