• Neutral Sentiment: Short‑interest reporting looks unreliable — recent feeds show zeros/NaN for short interest and days‑to‑cover, so short‑borrow dynamics are unclear and shouldn’t be relied on to explain today’s move. (Data entries on 2/11–2/12)
• Negative Sentiment: Secondary offering by the Kim family — a 10 million‑share secondary was announced and then priced, creating immediate supply overhang and a clear near‑term negative catalyst as insiders increase available shares for sale. Higher trading volume today suggests that execution of that offering and related selling pressure are the primary drivers of the decline.
