Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Near-term earnings weakness (Q2 loss, revenue decline) coupled with ongoing manufacturing transition and capex needs weighs on current valuation. However, liquidity actions reduce financial risk and 2.0 product uptake offers a potential catalyst if production and shipments normalize in 2H23/24. Similar to other micro-caps undergoing tech-driven product transitions, the stock may trade choppily until throughput proves sustainable.
