Now, complete this report with the following:

1) Brief Summary: explain your findings in succinct wording.
2) MARKET_SCORE: If you calculate a 92% likelihood of an upward moves, say: MARKET_SCORE[92]
3) PRICE_TARGET: If you think the high today will be 50% higher, add to the price.
Eg., If the current price is $5.00, add 50%. Thus, PRICE_TARGET[$7.50] -- It should be at or above the current price.

==========================================================================

1) Brief Summary: Ouster, Inc., a company in the General Industrial Machinery & Equipment sector, has shown significant sales growth over the past five years (67.60%), boosted by a strong sales surprise (0.98%) and EPS surprise (7.06%). The stock's relative volume stands at 5.01, and it has a high short ratio of 3.81, which may indicate a potential short squeeze. The company's financial health is robust, with a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.13. Insider transactions show a mixed bag with both purchases and disposals, which needs closer attention. Despite negative Simple Moving Averages (SMA50 and SMA200 at -3.95% and -4.16% respectively), the stock has begun to recover over the past weeks, with SMA20 at 12.02% and a weekly performance of 13.68%.

2) MARKET_SCORE[70]: Considering the positive sales growth, strong volume, and potential short squeeze, there is a 70% likelihood of an upward move. However, the negative SMA indicators and mixed insider transactions prevent a higher score.

3) PRICE_TARGET[$12.00]: Given the recent positive weekly performance and the potential for a short squeeze, the price could increase by about 20% from the latest close of $10.7599.

Finally, if more data could have improved your confidence which would you have chosen? **Choose one option:**
-> X0 <- Nothing more would have helped my analysis
-> X1 <- More stock-specific news
-> X2 <- More SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K) Financials, risk disclosures, and business changes
-> X3 <- More SEC Insider Trading (Form 3, 4, 5) Direct buys/sells from executives and institutions
-> X4 <- Broader sector & market news

==========================================================================

As a financial analyst, I would choose -> X2 <- More SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K) Financials, risk disclosures, and business changes. This is because these filings provide comprehensive data about a company's financial performance, risk factors and significant business changes, which are crucial for making a reliable and accurate analysis.
