Midday volume floods into $SPWR as the tape cheers a $26.2 million emergency cash infusion with a 67.77% surge.
Bidding a balance-sheet lifeline at morning highs is retail's favorite pastime. Yet across 3,283 historical catalyst gap-ups exceeding 30%, the trade closes red 66% of the time, shedding a median 7.23% intraday.
On the other side of the tape, $ADBT collapsed 80.28% despite yesterday's quantum-crypto PR, while $MDCX shed 35.71% following an 8-K material agreement.
When the volume dries up, emergency financing does not rewrite statistical gravity.
