USAR heads into September with a fresh analyst endorsement pulling against a heavy short position and a stock that just shed 11% in a week. The most notable development this week is Jefferies initiating coverage with a…

Tempus AI enters September with a striking split personality: the stock fell 9.4% on the week to $62.27, yet analysts are rushing to raise targets and a major short-covering wave has quietly unfolded beneath the…
