Earlier, conference and sponsorship announcements in October produced flat to slightly negative reactions, indicating limited trading impact. A buyback authorization on Dec 4, 2025 linked to up to $1.0M in repurchases previously aligned with a +3.77% move, underscoring market sensitivity to capital allocation and earnings quality.
