Listed Microcap- Frog Cellsat- Opportunity

any thought on this stock? Posting my notes below of the recent concall where management has given a 4x revenue guidance by 2027. I know its their words vs reality but just thought of digging given such a bullish estimate . if management is able to achieve even 50% of what they saying, their forward P/E will be 7-8 at current price based . One concern is last year they missed their estimate and this year they have revised down their guidance.
