Unknown11-12
The earnings call indicates declining revenues in key areas and a weak revenue guidance for Q3 2025, suggesting ongoing challenges. Although adjusted EBITDA exceeded expectations, the lack of specific guidance for 2026 and vague management responses create uncertainty. The macroeconomic environment also poses risks. While partnerships with Instacart and DoorDash show potential, they may not offset the overall negative sentiment. The decline in gross margins and cautious client behavior further contribute to a negative outlook. Without a significant positive catalyst, the stock is likely to experience a negative movement.
