A few weeks ago the CEO announced that he was going to pivot the company into the medical field to take advantage of developments in that space and the interest it is attracting from traders. It specifically announced that it was getting into the Covid-testing arena. On a podcast in June CEO Stephen Thomas said “What we’ve done is we’ve taken that manufacturing facility and we’ve converted it with the ability to manufacture the mobile COVID-19 testing facility. “Not only will we be able to test for COVID-19, but we’ll be able to test for other types of situations as well, including vitamin deficiencies and influenza,” Thomas continued.
The stock action and news like this is driving a frenzy among traders on Twitter as you can see from this sample of tweets.
