$PAAI On Thursday, September 17, 2026, PAAI shares surged roughly 271% (last trade around
$3.34) on extremely high volume. Trading was halted mid-morning (~11:50 a.m. ET) under a T1 (news pending) code after volatility pauses. The halt never lifted for the rest of the regular session or after-hours, so
$3.34 is a last sale price, not a formal close.
