Why CLRO Stock Ran 50% Today — July 7, 2026
A conferencing-mic maker morphing into a brain-implant company, on an 851K-share float that turned over roughly 95 times in one session.
What moved CLRO stock
ClearOne is a conferencing-hardware maker — mics — now morphing into a brain-implant company. It signed a definitive deal to acquire Cortigent, the neurostimulation developer spun out of Vivani Medical, and will rebrand as Cortigent Holdings under a new ticker, CRGT. Headlines hit July 2 and the stock had climbed from around $3 since; today was the third straight up day.
The mechanics
The float is 851K shares. That's it — any real buying moves this thing violently, and today the float turned over roughly 95 times. Not a squeeze either; short interest was about 3,500 shares.
CLRO by the numbers
The alert window
Stock Pulse alerted at 10:07 AM at $10.98; the peak $16.50 printed at 2:27 PM — four hours and twenty minutes of window, worth 50.3% at the top. No blow-off, just higher lows the whole way to a fresh 52-week high.
How CLRO's move ended
It closed at $13.71, still up 24.9% from the alert and 96% on the day, but about 17% off the top — the fade took back roughly half of the alert-to-peak move. The deal terms are the catch: Vivani takes ~59–68% of the combined company, legacy holders end up with roughly 13–14%, and a $10–15M S-1 raise comes with the closing. RSI was 82 at the alert on day three of the run, so the fade wasn't bad luck — it was the base case.
The tell: a multi-hour grind on higher lows hands you a real exit window; day-three RSI in the 80s says use it.
