Market sentiment

Sentiment is mixed: the AI partnership is viewed positively, but the sharp drawdown and margin pressure fuel “value trap” concerns, while reported insider buying is cited as a supportive signal.

Why NEUTRAL?

The new AI catalyst improves the long-term growth narrative, but the rapid share-price decline plus signs of margin pressure/high leverage increase uncertainty into Q2. As a result, the appropriate stance is to review rather than clearly add/reduce until Q2 results and AI-driven demand conversion provide confirmation.

Wait/review: hold if already owned but avoid adding until there is clearer evidence of margin stabilization and AI-related order conversion; more risk-tolerant investors could scale in gradually only after Q2 confirmation.
