The earnings call presents mixed signals. Financials show strong international growth and improved margins, but negative EBITDA and liquidity challenges raise concerns. The Q&A reveals uncertainty about 2025 guidance and licensing deals, but highlights potential in cryptocurrency and technology upgrades. The lack of specific guidance and some unclear responses contribute to a neutral outlook. Without market cap data, a neutral prediction (-2% to 2%) is prudent, balancing positive growth prospects with financial and strategic uncertainties.
