• Neutral Sentiment: Analyst/valuation writeups discussing returns on capital and strategy circulate (e.g., Yahoo Finance piece) — useful context but not an immediate driver. Yahoo Finance: Returns on Capital
• Negative Sentiment: Large insider selling by CEO Benjamin Bressler: 181,389 shares sold on Feb 4 (~$18.04 avg) and another 41,000 shares on Feb 5 (~$18.08 avg); his holdings fell sharply — markets often view heavy CEO sales as a near‑term negative signal even when explained by diversification or liquidity needs.
