Every follow-up, in order

No follow-up post by the same analyst on this alert was found in the alert record. That means none is included here; it does not prove none was posted.

The bull case

• The analyst’s latest stated target is $8.05.
• The recorded highest after the alert was $7.62 (+17.23% from the stated price).

The bear case

• The stated $6.50 was −5.66% from where the stock closed the alert minute.
• The stated price is not a verified fill; real execution can differ.
• A PT SMASHED post is the analyst’s call, not independent proof of liquidity or of a continuation.

What price did after the alert

The highest price recorded after the alert, through Tue, Nov 10, 9:20 AM ET, was $7.62 in the minute beginning Tue, Nov 10, 9:17 AM ET (premarket), +17.23% from the stated $6.50 and +10.60% from $6.89, the close of the alert's own minute. A minute bar identifies the minute, not the second of the trade, and trading after Tue, Nov 10, 9:20 AM ET is not included: a later print could still go further.

The latest quote

Latest available price: $7.02 as of Tue, Nov 10, 9:20 AM ET (live quote snapshot). From the stated $6.50, the long price-only result is +8.00%. From $6.89, the close of the alert's own minute, it is +1.89%.

$1,000 hypothetically placed at the stated price would be about 153.8462 fractional shares, worth $1,080.00 at the latest quote, a price-only change of $80.00 (+8.00%), before fees, taxes, spread, and slippage. No actual fill is confirmed, and the stated price was not where the stock traded in the alert minute.

What the record does and does not prove

A PT SMASHED post is the analyst’s statement that a target was reached and a new one set. The price checks above say whether the recorded trades agree, and when. Neither one is a member’s fill, share size, partial exit or realized return.

The percentages hold the alert’s stated price constant. They do not model whether a reader could have bought at that price, nor spreads, slippage, commissions, taxes, borrow fees or position sizing.

The next checkpoint

The latest target in the sequence is $8.05. It had not traded through Tue, Nov 10, 9:20 AM ET. Treat it as the analyst’s stated level, not a forecast, a guarantee or an achieved result.

This is a time-stamped audit as of Tue, Nov 10, 9:20 AM ET. A later quote, a later print or a new post can change the scorecard without changing the original alert.

Kill switch

Any one of these and the thesis is over, no averaging down, no renaming it.

• The source alert’s stated stop was $5.86.

The call. If the latest alert scenario reaches $8.05, that is the analyst’s stated target being met. The alert’s own invalidation reference was $5.86.

What the record says

The alert stated $6.50; the latest quote is $7.02 (+8.00%) on a price-only basis. The highest recorded after the alert, through Tue, Nov 10, 9:20 AM ET, was $7.62. This is a report of an alert, its follow-ups and the recorded trades, not an audited trade return.

The desk's scenario leans bullish. Bull or bear, the kill switch above is what keeps either view honest.
