- 2Despite a 412% revenue increase in the first half of 2026, free cash flow shows a $273 million deficit, while liquidity exceeds $2.1 billion
- 3The stock faces valuation pressure with a price-to-sales ratio of 44x, and since commercialization is years away, there is a possibility of additional stock or debt issuance
So what's the key point?
