6-week solvent supply delay caused $450k in wasted overhead; secondary supplier secured for Q3.

What To Watch

Q3 guidance update and specific timeline for secondary solvent supplier ramp.
Confirmation of defense contract delivery schedule for H2 2026.
Any announcements regarding capital raises or debt financing given the 5-quarter runway.

Market Analysis

How the tape may move from the last update’s mark — not from the open, and not the session % already printed.

The widening loss and flat revenue signal that the operational ramp is slower than anticipated. The cash runway is the primary risk factor; if the defense contract deliveries do not accelerate in Q3, the company may need to raise capital sooner than expected, diluting shareholders. The stock is likely to face downward pressure until clear evidence of revenue acceleration is provided.

Expected Move From Here -3.5% to +1.5% From last update, not from the open

Certainty 65%

Why

The miss is significant but not unexpected given the known supply chain issues. The muted tape reaction suggests limited immediate selling pressure, but the cash burn rate is a persistent overhang. The range is tight because the market is waiting for Q3 guidance to clarify the path to profitability. A breakdown below support levels would likely trigger further selling if the cash runway is perceived as shorter than 6 months.
