The company increased 4% over the past three months, with the biggest jump (3%) from September to October. We look to the Crowd for the why behind this pickup in intent. The biggest reason appears to be more favorable sentiment toward Pricing, improving by 13% vs. peers over the last three months. Sentiment towards Availability also surged by 8% vs. peers the last three months. Perception towards many other drivers of satisfaction also improved, potentially due to a significant marketing investment in October.
