Cerence Inc (CRNC) News

I'm thinking it was spun off so it could be acquired...

Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ: CRNC), AI for a world in motion. Developing game-changing innovations for the automotive cockpit of the future.

My cousin works for Nuance and told me about this spinoff @ $21.96

We need this symbol updated to CRNC

Interesting that the elephant in the room, navigation, is not mentioned.
