Ai wrong and citing Pershing exit as a major bear point looking ahead to HTZ next earnings

He contends algorithmic trading bots and AI news scrapers keep recycling Ackman's mid-August 'loss of confidence' quotes as if fresh, ignoring that his shares were absorbed months ago. The catalyst is the next quarterly earnings, where he expects sentiment to normalize as the stale institutional PR loop fades.
