A negative reaction despite upbeat product news fits a recent pattern, where positive events on Feb 17–18, 2026 coincided with declines of around 7–8%. The stock had already pulled back 11.66% from a position above its $12.05 200-day MA, suggesting profit-taking or dilution concerns following the Oct 28, 2025 equity financing. Elevated volume before this launch could also indicate positioning that later unwound.
