They have to halt for all news. That is a good rule. However the question is how long to halt. Yes, they are drawing attention. Should they let the market get blase with a one hour halt, or should they stir the pot.

Not all promo is bad. Maybe they have big news. Frankly I hope they do.

They have one excuse. If they had a whole whack of assays that had to be put into a new dissemination service and they knew it would take them a day to get it on the wire, then they lock scalpers out until after news is published. I have seen where you send a document into a dissemination service and it takes until the next day at 3 pm to get the thing out. They always have excuses, software glitches, trainees, workload, but there are people who get these news releases before anyone else does, mysteriously. I don't know how that happens. There also could be a last minute changes/checks or field checks connected with the release and it has to go back to the QP for editing.

I doubt they are doing anything but holding the breath of the market but there are some market security possibilities.
