This chart in words

The chart plots daily Reddit mentions of KAI over the 30 days to 30 September 2026: 7 in total, busiest on 5 September with 2, and 2 on the last day counted. Across this window the close ran between $265.84 on 21 September and $299 on 4 September. The line is the daily close over the same window: $292.25 on 1 September, $267 on 29 September. Of those days, 20 were trading sessions and the other 10 are hatched on the chart. On 9 of them no session took place, and the last close before it is carried forward rather than plotted; on 1 of them we hold no close at all, which is a gap in our own record rather than a closure we can prove.
