The company reported earnings on April 24, with prior announcements dating back to November 2025. No historical price reaction data is available for recent events.
The next earnings event is scheduled for August 25, 2026. Watch whether short interest stabilises at current levels or resumes its decline. Cost to borrow trends will signal whether the recent uptick persists.
The sharp short interest decline suggests reduced bearish conviction. Whether this reflects covering ahead of earnings or a broader reassessment remains unclear.
