2. Versus the guide in the previous dossier. The dossier records Q2-2026 guidance of $300–320M revenue. Reported Q2 revenue of $342.1M is $22.1M above the top of that range.

4. Segments. Array Legacy Operations Q2 revenue $320.3M (up 10%; ASPs up about 25%), gross profit $98.5M, gross margin 30.7% (28.8% a year earlier; CPW up 21%). STI Operations Q2 revenue $21.8M (down 69%), gross profit $1.1M, gross margin 5.1% (18.6% a year earlier). STI six-month gross profit was $(1.1)M, margin (4.1)%.

5. Remaining performance obligations fell to $413.7M at 2026-06-30 (99% expected to be recognised within twelve months). The dossier's figure was $544.0M at 2026-03-31, a drop of $130.3M. Separately, management reports a record "total executed contracts and awarded orders" of $2.5B at 2026-06-30 (up 37% year on year), over $500M of new orders in the quarter and a trailing-twelve-month book-to-billBook-to-billNew orders divided by orders filled.

6. Series A preferred. Total accrued and unpaid dividends were $106.4M at 2026-06-30 ($98.5M at 2026-03-31 in the dossier ). Liquidation preference stated at $506.4M; carrying value $498.2M. Q2 dividends accrued at 6.25% were $7.8M, with $8.0M of accretion. The 10-Q restates the terms: through 2026-08-10 dividends may be paid in cash or accrued; after that they are payable only in cash, and unpaid dividends then accrue at the cash rate plus 200bp. If default accrued dividends are outstanding for six consecutive quarters, holders may require payment in common stock at 95% of the 30-day VWAP. The 10-Q gives no plan for the post-2026-08-10 dividend, and no later filing I read reports whether it was paid.

9. Litigation. The Delaware Court of Chancery granted voluntary dismissal without prejudice of the derivative action on 2026-05-12; the dossier described those cases as stayed. The SWSS arbitration: the parties jointly asked the panel to stay it on 2026-04-29 pending the New York litigation; no material loss contingency is recorded at 2026-06-30.

Bearing on the position seed (stated as facts; the seed is unchanged). The seed's bull case names a "record $2.4B order book" and its bear case names a "$544M GAAP RPO"; the 10-Q reports $2.5B and $413.7M. Its catalyst dated 2026-08-11 is the preferred's flip to cash pay; item 6 gives what the 10-Q says about it. The catalyst dated 2026-07-04 (safe-harbor deadline) and the Q2-2026 print (item 1) have passed.

What held

• Legacy gross margin stayed near 30% and company gross margin moved up (29.1% GAAP in Q2), consistent with the dossier's margin-expansion reading (item 1, item 4).
• Revenue guidance for FY2026 ($1.4–1.5B) is unchanged; the EBITDA and EPS low ends were nudged up (item 3).
• The Second Circuit affirmance of the Plymouth dismissal (2026-03-24) is repeated in the 10-Q; no new enforcement matter appears in the filings read. [sec.gov: 10-Q 2026-08-05, https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1820721/000162828026053517/arry-20260630.htm]
• The Series A terms are as the dossier described them: 6.25% accrual to 2026-08-10, then cash pay (item 6).
