- The stock is recovering from a 10.8% drop in the previous session, moving in tandem with broader market gains in high-beta names.
- Broader risk appetite has improved across major U.S. indices as investors buy back into the sector after recent profit-taking.
- The upward move is driven by macro sentiment and improved risk appetite rather than any new company-specific news or earnings catalysts.
