- Given persistent losses, attention should focus on segment-level margin recovery in future filings, as well as progress on logistics/development milestones announced in Q3 timeframe .
- Without consensus benchmarks, updates to the medium-term thesis hinge on demonstrated improvement in operating results and evidence of ROI from retail and real estate initiatives .
