Valuation
Valuation signal
Modestly overvaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $16.30 and expensive above $48.89 (uncertainty very high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $32.93 (cash-flow model) and $15.96 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is above both.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 12.4%. At 13.4% the fair value would be $22.50, at 11.4% it would be $26.92.
Valuation metrics
Half from the cash-flow model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (40.2).

Company outlook mixed
Share price after the results: −4.1%2026 revenue guidance raised to $780 to $810 million (about $25 million more), but EPS lowered because of about $10 million of added spending and roughly 75 basis points less gross margin.
“On a full year 2026 basis, we expect approximately $10 million of incremental operating expenses and a gross margin impact of roughly 75 basis points associated with these growth initiatives.”The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
