The company is evaluating potential share buybacks, dividends, and acquisitions as uses of excess cash.
• European enforcement of the European Accessibility Act is gaining momentum, with warning letters and court action emerging, but management still characterizes the market as being in the “early innings.” AudioEye maintained its full-year revenue guidance midpoint while guiding Q3 revenue to $10.85 million–$11.05 million.
