Has management provided any guidance or revised forecasts for Q3 2025 and the full year 2025?

Answer to the question

No – the press release on the second‑quarter 2025 results contains only the Q2 figures (revenue of $2.7 M, gross loss of $0.9 M, etc.) and does not include any forward‑looking guidance or revised forecasts for the third quarter of 2025 (Q3) or for the full‑year 2025. Management’s commentary is limited to the drivers behind the Q2 performance (higher ASR service revenue, component‑shortage‑driven ECD product decline) and there is no mention of expected sales, margins, cash‑flow or profitability targets for the remainder of the year.

Trading implications

  • Short‑term bias: With no guidance, the market will price‑in uncertainty for Q3 and the year‑end. The recent Q2 miss (down ~15 % YoY) and a widening gross loss could keep the stock on the downside until clearer forward‑looking statements are released. Technicals are likely still in a down‑trend; the price is probably testing the recent low‑volume support around the 10‑day moving average and could face further pressure if the broader market remains risk‑averse to growth‑stage hardware names.

  • Risk management: Until management signals a recovery path—e.g., by addressing component‑shortage constraints or by projecting higher ASR service bookings—many traders will keep a defensive stance. Consider a tight stop‑loss just below the current support level (≈ 2–3 % under the recent low) if you decide to take a short position, or hold cash/low‑beta exposure if you prefer to wait for a guidance update (typically issued in the next earnings call or a Q3 press release).

  • Catalyst watch: The next earnings release (likely in early Q3) will be the first opportunity for management to give guidance. A clear, optimistic outlook could trigger a short‑cover rally, while continued silence or a muted outlook will likely sustain the current bearish bias. Keep an eye on any conference‑call transcript or investor‑presentation updates that might hint at future revenue mix or margin improvement.
