ARM has added another 7.3% this week to close at $223.15, capping a 34% gain over the past month, and the story has quietly shifted from post-earnings relief rally to something more sustained — and more contested. The…
TKO Group Holdings enters the week of May 20 with an unusually clear signal: executives bought their own stock in size on May 13 and 14, even as options traders are the most defensively positioned they have been in…
Talen Energy heads into the end of the week with a stark internal contradiction: the stock is down 16% over five sessions, yet nearly every positioning signal points away from genuine bearish conviction. The clearest…
Bitdeer Technologies Group heads into the back half of May with its short sellers at their most aggressive in weeks, even as analysts just hiked targets and the rest of the crypto mining sector surged. The bear camp…
HSAI dropped 9% on May 19 despite reporting its strongest quarter in years, and the gap between what the numbers said and what the stock did frames the whole week's story. Q1 revenue rose to $98.7 million from $72.4…
Super Hi International reported Q1 2026 results on May 20 and handed the market a split verdict: revenue beat estimates cleanly, but earnings per share came in almost flat against a far higher bar. The headline numbers…
RXO enters the back half of May with short sellers on the defensive — earnings delivered a sharp rally, analysts lifted targets across the board, and the put/call ratio suddenly spiked to its most defensive reading in…
Amprius Technologies enters its June 11 earnings window under a combination of heavy short positioning and the most defensive options setup it has seen all year — an unusually charged backdrop for a stock that has…
