Optimum Communications stock came into this earnings print beaten up, down about 43% over the past month and another 4% today to roughly $0.77.

Avient stock jumped 7.1% to US$45.69 into the close, capping a strong run that already had the shares up around 28% over the past month. The move is all about one thing: profitability.
