Confirming evidence

  • • Sentiment remains the lead driver in the composite, 7D delta +0.1.

Contradictions & invalidation

  • • Execution risk on facility scale-up and working-capital strain
  • • Feedstock price volatility that compresses margins
  • • Bear thesis: persistent high feedstock costs, weak product demand, or balance-sheet/working-capital stress that impairs operations and liquidity would keep shares at or below the current price toward the bear case.
