• Neutral Sentiment: Prepared remarks from a shareholder/analyst call were posted (transcript available). This provides detail for investors but doesn’t appear to contain new, market‑moving data beyond the firm’s public updates. Shareholder/Analyst Call Transcript (Seeking Alpha)
• Neutral Sentiment: Short‑interest notices in the data feed claim a “significant increase” but report 0 shares and NaN changes — the figures are inconsistent and likely unreliable, so they’re unlikely to be a real driver unless corrected.
• Negative Sentiment: HC Wainwright also lowered estimates for FY2026 and cut Q4‑2026 expectations, reflecting a worse‑than‑expected near‑term outlook; that short‑term downgrade can cap gains and keep volatility elevated. HC Wainwright Note (MarketBeat)
• Negative Sentiment: Recent reported results showed a sizable quarterly EPS loss and a miss vs. estimates, underscoring ongoing cash burn and execution risk; until consistent clinical or commercial progress is demonstrated, downside risk remains.
