The company's Q2 revenue surged to $141 million, marking a 64.3% increase year-over-year and far surpassing the analyst consensus of $96.43 million.

This forward-looking statement, coupled with the company's strong financial performance and successful patent litigation outcomes, has clearly resonated with investors, driving the substantial stock price increase.
