PAT jumped +39.0% on 18x normal volume — one of today's biggest movers
PAT (Basic Materials) had a cracking session, climbing +39.0%. Moves this size don't usually happen without a reason — worth checking what's behind it.
#2

Here's an interesting one: 14.0% of PNV's shares are sold short, yet the stock climbed +2.7% today. When shorts get caught on the wrong side, they're forced to buy back — which can pour fuel on the fire.

FRM flagged by Scout but sitting 37% below its 52-week high
This is a classic contrarian setup: FRM (Consumer Defensive) is flagged across Scout's dimensions, but the market has it beaten down. When the data says one thing and the price says another, something's got to give.
#6
ARA saw 500x normal volume but the price barely budged — someone's positioning quietly
ARA (Financial Services, $97M) traded 500.0x its normal volume today. When volume spikes like this, it usually means someone with deep pockets is making a move, or there's news coming that hasn't fully landed yet.
