- Neutral Sentiment: Company held a conference call/webcast to review the Part A 52‑week data, providing more transparency on durability and safety that investors can digest for modeling. GlobeNewswire: Conference Call
- Neutral Sentiment: Short‑interest notices in the feed show zero reported short shares (likely a data artifact); they do not provide meaningful evidence of positioning pressure.
