The earnings call presents a mixed picture. Positive aspects include strong sales volume growth, improved gross margins, and optimistic guidance for revenue and profitability. However, risks such as competitive pressures, regulatory issues, and supply chain challenges temper this optimism. The Q&A reveals some uncertainty regarding overseas growth amid tariffs. The lack of a share buyback program and the ongoing net loss further balance the positives. Given the mixed sentiment and absence of a strong catalyst, the stock price is likely to remain stable, resulting in a neutral prediction.
