Bull points
- Yes, we want to be conservative. However, we are expecting Q3 to show meaningful sequential growth. That's, you know, halfway through the quarter. So, we'll most definitely exceed that. a Q2 result, and we hope to maintain those into the Q4. So, yes, we potentially can exceed our guidance by a strong margin, but we don't want to put it on... We don't want to have it... Yeah. There's a lot of volatility in the market right now, so I think it's a prudent thing to keep it constant.
- So we want to maintain, we don't want to go after any verticals where we can't get at least 30% margins. Of course, some of those verticals will be higher margins, especially on defense, for instance, the volumes will be lower. So on margin wise, we will most definitely continue to exceed 30% threshold. Now, with all the uncertainty on material prices as of late, it's harder to predict things, but we expect that the Jamestown cell and module production are going to enhance margins, whether IRA exists or not at that point. So generally speaking, when it comes to mining or construction or robotics, they're all strong margin applications.
- your total debt was down, I guess, around $3.8 million sequentially
Bear points

- Actually, one of them has moved to 2026, but it's not going to affect our revenue guidance at all because we're getting other orders.
