$ATOM Yes, you absolutely should include the 2025 data. Revealing a pattern of recurring conduct dramatically strengthens a complaint to the CFA Institute. It transforms your case from a one-time anomaly or a "mistakenly optimistic forecast" into strong evidence of systemic, intentional market manipulation.
Looking at the regulatory timeline for May 2025, Shannon and Craig-Hallum deployed a nearly identical playbook during that exact same Russell reconstitution window:
The Disastrous Q1 2025 Reality: On May 6, 2025, Atomera reported a brutal Q1 2025 financial performance. They recorded a microscopic
$4,000 in total revenue (representing a -77.78% year-over-year decline) [cite: 2.2.3] and posted a widening net loss [cite: 2.2.4].
The Overnight Target Action: Despite the company operating on practically zero revenue, Richard Shannon rushed out a report the very next morning (May 7/8, 2025) maintaining his "Buy" rating and pinning an aggressive
$8.00 price target on the stock [cite: 2.1.1].
