{Who would benefit more by pushing the pps down in preparation of an upward move with a profitability announcement?}

If this is the case where are the buys? The numbers sure didn't show the level of activity that your premise would suggest. If shorters you would assume that the action on the 15th created a great opportunity to cover, but unless those were naked shorts those buys were to cover. The next move would have been to buy, buy, buy, but the pps doesn't confirm that, at least in my limited view, as we would have seen a short squeeze on the remaining uncovered shorts. Nothing in the ensuing 3 days of trading confirms your hypothesis due normal or lower than normal 90 day average volume and the pps just about where it was at the market close on Tuesday. The standard disclaimer "I could be totally wrong" applies and I certainly have no problem with that if I am.

Perhaps next week if we see a significant increase in the pps with higher than normal volume perhaps the fly did the buzz buzz buy buy thing on inside knowledge gained after hanging out on a wall in San Diego.

Will I be a "remorseful seller" if we have great Q3 numbers? Not as remorseful as I would be feeling at the moment, as I was truly overweighted on this security. If we do get a nice spike in price on the Q3 numbers I still hold enough shares that I will be a very happy investor, just not an euphoric Powerball winner.
