Cyborg Score Rationale
Guided 2026 revenue of $3.3-3.33B (+10.7%) and Adjusted EBITDA of $910-925M (+11.3%) shows strong topline momentum. However, net income is projected lower at $330-336M versus 2025, raising cost control concerns during expansion. The company targets net debt to Adjusted EBITDA at or below 2.00x, indicating disciplined leverage management.
