Management maintained full-year guidance of $320 to $340 million, and the book-to-bill ratio of 1.25 suggests demand is holding. But the business is bleeding cash with a net loss of $41.2 million in Q3, nearly double the $21 million loss from the prior year. Gross margin sits at just 16.3%, leaving almost no room for error.

Second, new CFO Chris Edmunds has set low and achievable targets for 2026, which frames the guidance range of $450 million to $500 million in revenue as a floor rather than a stretch.
