Confirming evidence

  • Sentiment remains the lead driver in the composite, 7D delta +7.5.

Contradictions & invalidation

  • 2026 NMIBC, choroidal-metastases, and ocular-surface data remain unverified, leaving weak near-term visibility.
  • A 10% owner reported an open-market sale of approximately 6.9 million shares at $5.64 on May 7, 2026; this is a sentiment risk but not evidence of operating performance [#SEC-FORM4-2026-05-11].
  • No confirmed August earnings print or new clinical readout was identified, so the scheduled follow-up does not currently improve forward visibility.
