Tailwinds

  • Strategic review by the Board of Directors to evaluate value-maximizing options.

Headwinds

  • Current market volatility, especially in the private sector, may impact corporate buying decisions.
  • Potential impact in the public sector due to changes in the federal government.
  • Challenges in the federal public sector, including an extended federal government shutdown, are expected to impact Q4.
