    Emerging issues related to our development, integration and use of artificial intelligence ("AI") could give rise to legal or regulatory action, damage our reputation or otherwise materially harm our business.

    Our development, integration and use of AI technology in our operations remains in the early phases. We have started to assess the use of AI technology to drive productivity and data analytics. While we aim to develop, integrate and use AI responsibly, we may ultimately be unsuccessful in identifying or resolving issues, such as accuracy errors, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, unintended biases, and discriminatory outputs, before they arise. AI is a new and emerging technology in early stages of commercial use and presents a number of risks inherent in its use by us, our customers, suppliers and other business partners and third-party providers, or through the use of third-party hardware and software. These risks include, but are not limited to, ethical considerations, public perception, intellectual property protection, regulatory compliance, privacy concerns and data security. As a result, we cannot predict future developments in AI and related impacts to our business and our industry. If we are unable to successfully and accurately develop, integrate and use AI technology, address the risks and challenges associated with AI, or if the content, analyses, or recommendations that AI applications assist in producing are, or are alleged to be deficient, inaccurate, or biased, our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

    The price of our common stock is volatile and may decline.

    The market price of our common stock historically has experienced and may continue to experience significant price fluctuations similar to those experienced by the broader stock market in recent years. For example, between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025, the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE ranged from $94.85 to $173.51 per share. In addition, the price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to various factors, including: - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations;- announcements by us or our competitors of significant business developments, changes in customer relationships, acquisitions, or expansion plans;- changes in the prices of products we sell;- involvement in litigation;- our sale or repurchases of common stock or other securities in the future;- market conditions in our industry;- changes in key personnel;- changes in market valuation or earnings of our competitors;- the trading volume of our common stock;- changes in the estimation of the future size and growth rate of our markets; and - general economic and market conditions. Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against that company. If we were involved in any similar litigation, we could incur substantial costs and our management's attention and resources could be diverted, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As a result, it may be difficult for you to resell your shares of common stock in the future.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
