    OPTT is up 21.4% on the day and accelerated another 8.0% in five minutes after announcing completion of a Greensea IQ proof-of-concept deployment. The announcement demonstrates operational progress, but it provides no disclosed financial impact, contract value, or binding commercial commitment to support this magnitude of move.

    WHYA 21.4% rise and sharp late acceleration are large relative to an unquantified proof-of-concept completion with no disclosed revenue or contract terms.
