It looks like 25-26 to the upside and 22-23 to the downside right now, if it gets sold off right now, it could end up going above 26 after it hits 22-23.

Lol.

CEO did interview Friday where he said they’re growing 70 percent in the commercial sector ������‍������ we’re going to 30$+ next week

I don't think it is going above 30 until to pulls back from 25-26, if it does, the immediate target is ~32

That’s how my 27$ calls looked today they were up almost 40$ now they’ll be worthless

Commercial was only up 40%. That was the impression I got from the video.

All my ai stocks got rebounded so it seems alright for me.

Crazy how much impact expectations make. When calls get loaded hard usually ends up tanking after earnings unless there is a big surprise revealed. Opposite is also true if shorts are loaded to the hilt and expectation is ongoing concern but management says all is well you can see a big upswing even though they lost a bunch of money this quarter, will lose money the rest of the year, but profit expectation beats previous guidance for 2026 suddenly it’s time to pop lmao

??? How much do you know about the company and what they do? And if you think they’re trash, why are you holding shares?

Before I answer your question let me ask you does a company’s stock price always reflect the actual value of the company?

People recognize the stock as over or under valued based on the periodic business financials.

I don't understand how Cerberus managed to gut this company and convince MPW to hold the bag? I'd be curious to see what MPW's reason for loaning so much money was. Either it was a genius move that gets them paid when new owners take over various hospitals or they are idiots who were held over a barrel and tried to avoid letting the company hit bankruptcy. Either way they have an ownership stake in the hospital group so perhaps they'll make out ok. I am tempted to buy and hold long term just to see what happens, but it never looks good when EPS is negative on a REIT.

EDIT: Short interest is pretty dam high at 37% could potentially squeeze with any sort of moderate to good news. It has been a sinking ship though for the last 3 years... hospitals particularly smaller groups are under enormous pressure right now as medicare and other payers are putting the screws to providers. If they cut the dividend entirely perhaps it would be worth looking at some $10 calls for $30/each for Jan 2026. There is definitely a ton of risk.
