Hot Take | April 18, 2026, 10:49 p.m. EDT
Despite the weak short-term forecast (-2.2%) and massive downside put positioning, the fundamental narrative is overwhelmingly bull: Strong Buy recommendation, Goldman upgrade, and a $350M capital raise that validates the $41.00 price level. The short-term pain looks to be a 'bloodied nose' before a re-rating to the $83.50 analyst mean. |

As of April 18, 2026, 10:49 p.m. EDT: Put writing and positioning are dominant in the immediate term (April 17), with heavy OI at $29 and $30 strikes representing downside protection. However, for June expiration, significant call volume and Open Interest have surged at $50 and $75 strikes, while call premiums remain strong. This suggests a 'range-bound' or 'crush and catch' strategy in April, but a bullish view building for mid- to long-term quarters, restricted by the current price anchor.
