Sep 25, 2026, 1:18 PM EDT1 sourcesAI-analyzed
Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Soft Q3 guidance and near-term Secure Communications weakness weigh on sentiment despite Q2 upside; price fell ~6% intraday as targets were trimmed and valuation concerns persisted across analysts; historical pattern shows small-cap tech hardware/services names can re-rate modestly on single-quarter misses followed by gradual stabilization if key growth vectors materialize.
