achieving break-even in just 2 months (February 2026) This high profitability is driven by specialized, high-ticket products like the Aegis MRI Shielded Room ($185,000 average sale price) To sustain this rapid growth and high return on equity (ROE of 4287%), you must focus on optimizing the product mix and reducing the 41% total Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) The goal is to push the operating margin above 58% by 2028, leveraging high volume growth (Y5 revenue projected at $222 million)\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-section image-1_new_design\"
