• Neutral Sentiment: DA Davidson reaffirmed a “neutral” rating with a $24.55 price target (only modest upside from current levels), signaling analyst views are cautious/steady rather than bullish. DA Davidson note via TickerReport
• Neutral Sentiment: Coverage of Q4 results and key metrics is mixed — earnings writeups (Zacks, SeattlePI, Yahoo valuation pieces) highlight some operational momentum but leave room for interpretation vs. estimates, so the report did not clearly swing sentiment. Zacks Q4 earnings coverage
• Negative Sentiment: Large insider sales by top executives on Feb. 17–18: CEO Sandeep Sahai, CTO Souvik Das, CFO James Cox, CRO Scott Erickson and another insider each sold substantial blocks (~tens to hundreds of thousands of shares), trimming ownership by double?digit percentages — this volume can pressure near?term sentiment even if sales are preplanned. SEC filing (example CEO sale)
• Negative Sentiment: Kaskela Law announced an investigation into whether the recently proposed shareholder buyout price is fair, which raises legal/transactional risk and could complicate or reprice the deal for investors. Litigation or a negotiated raise in price would be material. GlobeNewswire: Kaskela investigation
