AL

AL is not a growth trade but a 'Merger Arb' safe haven, mechanically drifting toward the $65.00 cash takeout price agreed upon with the Sumisho consortium. The 'Quiet Storm' and 'Steady Climb' signals are detecting the deal spread compression (currently ~0.6%) rather than organic momentum. In a 'Warsh Shock' regime where liquidity is being drained from speculative assets, AL's binding merger agreement makes it a cash-equivalent fortress, uncoupled from the broader deleveraging.
