HC Wainwright’s quarterly 2028 forecasts anticipate narrower losses of $0.05 to $0.07 per share.
• Neutral Sentiment: Options activity was unusually high, with investors purchasing 31,500 call options, 46% above typical call volume. This may signal increased speculative interest, but options activity alone does not establish a durable fundamental trend.
