The stock's trading volume fell by 22.57% to $290 million, placing it at 394th in terms of market activity for the day. This performance follows a period of mixed investor sentiment amid broader market consolidation.

Analysts noted the continued underperformance of the entertainment sector against defensive assets.

Institutional activity remains subdued, with no significant fund flows reported in the past 30 days.

To deliver a rigorous back-test I need to make sure the setup details match what our engine can actually execute. A few points still need to be pinned down: Universe coverage – “Top 500 by trading volume” could refer to the entire U.S. equity market or a specific sub-universe. Our back-test engine works on a per-ticker basis, requiring an equal-weighted daily portfolio file for replication. Entry/exit price convention needs confirmation between close-to-close or open-to-close execution. Benchmark assumptions and slippage parameters also require finalization to ensure accurate performance measurement.
