This social signal appears to confirm the stock’s breakout to nearly five-year highs. Shares are now firmly above their 2024 weekly closing highs, near $35.80, and appear to be targeting the $50 all-time highs achieved just before the pandemic. These factors will likely keep the stock at the top of the Stocktwits trending list this week.
