• Neutral Sentiment: Mixed fundamentals — recent quarter beat revenue estimates but missed EPS (negative margins persist). Revenue momentum is encouraging, but profitability remains a concern until margins improve. Earnings Summary
• Neutral Sentiment: Market/technical context — shares have been well above long‑term averages and the stock has high beta (~2.4), so headlines and insider activity can cause amplified moves; reported short‑interest data for December appears to be a data anomaly (0 shares).
• Negative Sentiment: Clustered insider selling — on Dec. 22 multiple directors (Jaspreet Sood, Richard Cohen, Randy Seidl) and CFO Neil Laird sold sizable blocks at ~ $9.48.
