The Q1 2026 filing reveals a company at a critical inflection point, trading short-term margin compression for long-term infrastructure dominance. While revenue growth and the expansion of the NOP provide a compelling growth narrative, the rapid increase in operating expenses and the assumption of massive lease liabilities introduce new levels of financial risk.
