Investment thesis

Free cash flow is deeply negative relative to net income, all four available reported quarters missed estimates by nearly 100% on average, and the overall quality score has fallen below minimum thresholds — despite technical momentum that has carried the stock near a 52-week high with rising accumulation volume, the fundamental picture does not support new exposure at current levels.
