Why It Matters
Preliminary quarterly and full‑year results can affect investor expectations for earnings, revenue, and stock performance; the press release is the company’s first public disclosure of those preliminary metrics for FY2025. The upcoming ICR fireside chat gives investors an opportunity to hear management commentary and context directly, which may clarify drivers behind the preliminary results. Because the release is furnished (not filed), it is not subject to the same liability under Section 18 of the Exchange Act.
