Risk Radar (year-over-year Risk Factors)

← All Risk Radar

Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31view filing on EDGAR →

Regulatory risk has broadened materially across multiple jurisdictions and domains — EU MDR, EU AI Act, EU HTA, new U.S. state AI laws, and OBBBA-driven demand headwinds all escalated simultaneously, with no meaningful offsets. Chinese rare earth export controls add a concrete supply chain disruption vector, while expanded competitive threats and ESG litigation exposure compound the picture. The aggregate shift is a substantive worsening concentrated in regulatory compliance and operations, though no solvency or going-concern risk is present.
