• Neutral Sentiment: M&A speculation remains an important but unconfirmed catalyst.

• Neutral Sentiment: Short-interest data is not usable. The reported August figure of zero shares and a “NaN” percentage change conflicts with the description of a large increase, so it provides no reliable signal about short-covering or bearish positioning.
