• Neutral Sentiment: Public short-interest notices show anomalous “0” and NaN values for March filings, indicating the published short-interest data is noisy/unreliable this cycle and not a meaningful signal of bearish positioning.
• Negative Sentiment: Zacks reduced several near-term and full-year estimates (Q4 2026 cut from $0.70 to $0.60, Q1 2026 trimmed, Q1 2027 and parts of 2027 also nudged lower, and FY2026 slightly lowered), signaling some moderation in expected near-term earnings that could weigh on guidance-driven expectations.
