• Negative Sentiment: 2026 guidance is conservative vs 2025: management guided 2026 revenue to $395–$435M (below 2025’s $443.4M), which could temper momentum if investors expected continuing high growth. Guidance / GlobeNewswire
• Negative Sentiment: Leverage and legal costs remain items to watch — the company reduced debt but still shows ~ $426.7M in term loan balance and disclosed material litigation expense ($24.7M in 2025), which could concern debt-sensitive investors. Quiver / Summary
