Veritone shares rise 10.47% intraday after expanding CBS licensing agreement and hosting AI forum.

think> Okay, let's see. The user wants me to transform a given text into a concise news headline following specific rules. The example provided shows that the company name stays the same, the percentage is rounded to two decimals, the time period is included, and a brief reason for the price movement. First, I need to parse the input text. The company is Veritone, and the stock moved intraday by 10.46511628%, which rounds to 10.47%. The time period is intraday. Now, the reasons for the price movement are listed as four points. I need to condense these into a brief reason. Point 1: CBS and Veritone expanded their licensing agreement, including CBS's content like "Entertainment Tonight" and "Inside Edition". This likely improves content distribution. Point 2: The investor forum in December 2025 with CEO presentation and aiWARE demo. Point 3: Buy ratings from Needham and D. Boral Capital with target prices. Point 4: Debt reduction and repayment of secured credit in November 2025. I should combine these into a concise reason. Maybe start with the expanded licensing agreement, mention the investor forum and analyst ratings, and the debt reduction. Need to make sure it's all in one sentence without being too long. Also, check the example's structure for the output. The example includes the company name, percentage, time period, then the reasons in the next sentences. Wait, the example has two paragraphs. The first part is the headline with the surge and the main reason, and the second part gives more details. But the user's instruction says "a brief reason for the price movement". So maybe the first sentence includes the surge and the main reason, then the subsequent sentences can elaborate. So the headline would start with "Veritone surged 10.47% intraday..." followed by the reasons. Let me structure the reasons in order of importance. The expanded licensing agreement with CBS is probably the most significant. Then the investor forum, analyst ratings, and debt reduction. Need to make sure all key points are included but not too detailed. Also, the dates (2025) are part of the events but maybe not necessary in the headline unless crucial. The example didn't include dates in the main headline. Putting it all together: Veritone surged 10.47% intraday as the company expanded its licensing agreement with CBS, granting access to high-profile content like "Entertainment Tonight" and "Inside Edition", and announced an AI investor forum, analyst buy ratings, and significant debt reduction. Wait, the original points mention the debt reduction happened on November 13, 2025. Should I include the date? The example didn't include dates for the project start. Maybe not necessary unless it's critical. The main reasons are the licensing, the forum, the analyst ratings, and the debt reduction. Alternatively, maybe structure it as: Veritone surged 10.47% intraday, driven by an expanded licensing agreement with CBS, an upcoming AI investor forum, analyst buy ratings, and a significant debt reduction. That's concise. Then, in the next paragraph, maybe elaborate on each point as in the example. The example has the first sentence as the headline with the surge and the main reason, then the next sentences provide more details. But the user's instruction says to provide a brief reason. So the first part is the headline with the surge and the reason, then the following sentences can be more detailed. So the final output would be similar to the example: first sentence with company, percentage, time period, and brief reason, followed by more details. Let me check the example again. The example's first sentence includes the surge and the main reason (subsidiary signed a project agreement), then the next sentences elaborate on the project and the company's focus. So for this case, the first sentence should mention the surge and the key reasons. The key reasons here are the expanded licensing agreement, the investor forum, analyst ratings, and debt reduction. But how to condense that into one sentence? Maybe: "Veritone surged 10.47% intraday, driven by an expanded licensing agreement with CBS, an AI investor forum, analyst buy ratings, and significant debt reduction." Then in the next paragraphs, explain each point. But the user's example has the first sentence as the headline, and then the next sentences provide more details. So maybe the first sentence is the headline, and then the rest are the details. So the final output would be: Veritone surged 10.47% intraday, driven by an expanded licensing agreement with CBS, an upcoming AI investor forum, analyst buy ratings, and significant debt reduction. The company expanded its licensing agreement with CBS Media Ventures, granting access to high-profile content such as "Ent.
