• Negative Sentiment: Updated payout tied to a past data breach (~$177M) is a direct cash liability — Reports about a $177M payout related to a data breach add an incremental, one-time cash hit and headline risk, which can pressure sentiment while investors digest the earnings impact and timing of payment.

• Negative Sentiment: Technical & fundamental caution is prompting profit-taking — Market commentary highlights overbought follow-through after the late-January rally, a possible reversion toward the 50-day moving average, and mixed fundamentals (stagnant multi-year revenue growth, past dividend cut). That dynamic is likely amplifying short-term selling. No external link
