Key Performance Facts & Context:
- Extremely high volatility (beta ~2.2–3.0); typical of micro-cap solar/tech stocks.
- Average daily volume historically ~1–6M; recent sessions 20M+ indicate retail/speculative interest.
- The sharp recent gains appear tied to merger announcement and earnings beats, but sustainability is uncertain given thin float and history of swings.
- Past performance does not predict future results; merger may or may not close, potentially causing further volatility.
