strong sell

The company's Q2 2025 financial results are exceptionally poor, marked by significant declines in revenue, gross profit, and a substantial net loss. This indicates a deteriorating operational and financial position. The lack of positive forward-looking statements or clear strategic initiatives to reverse these trends, combined with ongoing legal disputes, suggests continued headwinds. Investors should consider divesting given the current performance and uncertain outlook.
