ALEX

ALEX is currently a 'Zombie Stock' in the best possible sense: it is locked in a pending privatization by Blackstone at $21.20/share (announced Dec 2025). The current price of $20.76 reflects a ~2.1% merger arbitrage spread, explaining the 'Quiet Storm' signal (volatility collapse to 3%) and 'Perfect Stack' (gap-and-hold technicals). While the broader 'Risk On' market chases Nvidia and infrastructure plays, ALEX has decoupled from macro beta and is now trading purely on deal completion probability. The 'Alpha Male' signal is a residual artifact of the massive privatization gap-up in December, not new organic momentum.
