According to investopedia it is:

An order that provides confidential treatment for certain documents and information, that a company would otherwise have to file. A confidential treatment order (CTO) is issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and may only be in effect for a certain period of time, rather than indefinitely.

Companies would typically seek a CTO in order to keep information that would otherwise put it at a disadvantage, a secret. For example, a company may apply for such an order to keep information regarding a pricing arrangement made with a partner, secret, since competitors finding out this information may go after the partner with a more competitive price.


So my guess is it is the terms of the China deal - may be just the initial 2 demonstration units but could include the outline of the 135000 unit contract. Other options could be the Walmart refinancing (but why that would need a CTO I'm not sure). Also the Hyster take over offer or something bigger related to this weeks activities in Davos.

It is normally good news
