- The stock previously surged from approximately $4 to over $17 after a 1-for-4 reverse split effective July 1, 2026, and a surprise Q1 2026 profit.
- Recent commentary highlighting stretched valuations and mixed fundamentals has triggered profit-taking, compounded by a broader market decline.
- Investors appear to be reassessing the stock's new price levels in the absence of fresh, company-specific catalysts.
