  • B. Riley highlighted that new network architectures from Amazon and OpenAI could reduce transceiver demand, weighing heavily on investor sentiment.
  • The stock is facing additional pressure from a broader selloff in semiconductor and high-growth tech names, with Nasdaq futures and chip stocks trading lower in the pre-market.
