Technical Indicators Hit Bottom Tier
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings reveal a dismal momentum score, a composite metric that measures a stock’s “relative strength based on its price movement patterns and volatility over multiple timeframes, ranked as a percentile against other stocks”.

Macquarie Cuts Price Target

The analyst firm expressed a “Cautiously Positive” sentiment, noting that they “cut the price target on concerns over rising OpEx and cash burn”. Validating the market’s bearish momentum, Macquarie specifically highlighted a “sequential cash burn acceleration QoQ, with FCF outflow of USD87m vs. USD35m in 4Q25”.
