• Neutral Sentiment: Most Zacks estimates remain close to prior levels (consensus full‑year at $1.27), so while revisions are positive in aggregate, they are modest and may not dramatically change near‑term fundamentals.
• Neutral Sentiment: Reported short‑interest data in recent filings is effectively meaningless (shows zeros/NaN and a 0.0 days‑to‑cover metric), producing noise rather than a clear sentiment signal for traders.
• Negative Sentiment: Offsetting the upgrades, Zacks trimmed a couple of quarterly estimates (Q1 2027 to $0.41 from $0.42 and Q4 2026 to $0.34 from $0.36), indicating some quarter‑to‑quarter variability that could temper upside expectations if trends weaken.
