The previous big move we wrote about was 4 days ago when the stock gained 3% on the news that investors continued to digest a major funding announcement from the previous day. The move follows a volatile prior session where the stock fell roughly 14% despite the company announcing a $1.7 billion project investment from Industrial Development Funding and Oaktree.

This new funding is for deploying the company’s fuel-cell technology to power AI cloud systems. Investors appear to be reassessing the long-term implications of the landmark deal after the initial sell-off.
