> The company also telegraphed

I assume this is business lingo for something, and doesn't mean they sent an actual telegraph?

Telegraphing can simply mean the act of displaying something outwardly.

Used extensively in the context of E-Sports when someone does something that the other player can see and prepare for.

Or in boxing, "telegraphing" a punch, where you draw your arm back making it obvious what you're about to do so that you're opponent can prepare to block/dodge/counter/etc.
Exactly correct. Perhaps your example is a little more relevant than mine.
Basically, "indicated".
