Recommendation

hold

While the company demonstrates strong revenue growth and reiterates ambitious pro forma guidance, including expected Q4 profitability, it continues to report significant net losses and adjusted EBITDA losses. The Sportstech acquisition, while promising, has experienced delays and its full integration and financial impact are yet to be realized. The CFO transition adds a layer of change. A "hold" recommendation allows investors to observe the successful closure and integration of Sportstech, the realization of cost synergies, and the achievement of the stated profitability targets before making further investment decisions. The current performance is mixed, warranting caution despite the positive outlook.
