Absent a firm STAR/Accel sale announcement or concrete answer to Jana's portfolio-review demand, skepticism about out-quarter achievability, unresolved CEO-transition execution risk, and lack of a hard catalyst should erode the initial pop over the following days, consistent with a fade rather than follow-through.",
