It's a positive. Like I said the other day, silence from the company is good because it stabilizes the pps. Neither longs or shorts know what might happen from day to day so it puts us in a stabilized holding pattern until news. I assume many are sitting in the fence, waiting. If the news is excellent, it's those already in who will benefit the most.
I'd hate to be on the sidelines if a partnership (or BO) is suddenly announced. PPS could seriously gap up.
