• Neutral Sentiment: Short‑interest reports released for early March describe a “significant increase,” but the reported short interest values are zero and include NaN/inconsistent figures (days‑to‑cover reported as 0.0). This looks like a data/reporting glitch rather than meaningful new short pressure — monitor for corrected filings before treating short interest as a driver. MarketBeat: Short interest data
