• 📊 The $46m ESOP shelf could increase the share count over time. You may want to weigh any potential dilution against the current discount to both the analyst target and the estimated fair value.

• 📊 Watch how quickly new ESOP shares are issued, how that compares with the recent 28.4% 30 day price decline, and whether management links issuance to clear performance or retention goals.

• ⚠️ A major flagged risk is high levels of non cash earnings, so any ESOP related issuance could matter more if reported profits do not translate into cash generation over time.
