The denial of emergency injunctive relief removes a near-term overhang; the stock should trade on operational fundamentals. Monitor future substantive rulings on the underlying complaint—if the case survives dispositive motions, settlement pressure could resurface, but this is likely months away.

- The magistrate judge recommended denial of all emergency motions on March 8, 2026.
- Plaintiff did not file timely objections despite warnings.

Financial Impact
