It also cited adverse changes in cloud and AI infrastructure markets, and tariff and trade policy changes that could raise costs and disrupt supply chains. Reliance on a limited number of customers for a substantial share of sales, international expansion risks and geopolitical uncertainty, including the conflict in the Middle East, were also listed.
