Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31

Five distinct risk themes deteriorated with no offsetting easing, led by the elimination of energy tax credits under OBBBA and DOE grant termination materially reducing government support. Tariff escalation moved from hypothetical to realized supply chain cost pressure, a product liability settlement exceeded insurance coverage, and new data center/AI market dependency introduced concentrated execution and capital risk. The breadth of worsening — spanning regulatory, competitive, macro, operational, and legal themes — signals a meaningfully more adverse risk profile entering 2026.
