Commentary

Market sentiment is cautious-to-mixed: investors price in high binary risk from platform milestones and financing needs while some buyers speculate on licensing upside [#PR-2025-07-20], [#10-Q-2025-Q2p12]. Short-term volume spikes follow news releases, indicating event-driven trading rather than steady accumulation [#Market-2025-11].
