This score sits at the bottom of the 0–100 range. The underlying calculation was negative, so the displayed value is a floor, not a measurement of zero.

Forward P/E -21.5

No annual filing with both total assets and a cash-flow figure is cached for this name, so neither validated measure can be computed. FCF/revenue is shown instead, which is not the validated measure.

Price vs Earnings growth

Trailing EPS is negative (-3.32) and forward EPS is not positive, so a growth percentage does not exist

Confidence 35.0/100

Takeaway Low data confidence (limited analyst coverage) — treat this section as informational only.

Price Levels

StrategyAt Support Zone
Reference band 9.46 — 9.74
Protective stop 8.50 (Atr, 11.5% risk)
Support 9.55 (3 touches, 1.5% away)
Resistance 9.91 (2.2% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the floor than the ceiling: about 1.5% above 9.55, a price buyers have stepped in at before, and 2.2% below 9.91, where sellers have turned up before. That floor has held 3 times, which is how it was spotted. If someone bought at today's price and sold if it dropped through the level below, they would be about 11.5% out of pocket. That is all this figure means — an illustration of the risk, not a price to sell at.

Ichimoku Cloud (Adaptive)

LinesTenkan/Kijun BULL | cloud twist BULL
Cloud thickness48% percentile
Chikou spanAbove price from 26 periods ago
Weekly cloudPrice BELOW the weekly cloud (context only, not scored)

Takeaway The stock is trading inside its cloud — a shaded band drawn from several of its own moving averages, currently 9.32 to 9.87. Inside the band those averages disagree with each other, so the indicator is not saying much either way. Its shorter-term averages point the other way, so this is a mixed reading rather than a clear one.

Band 9.19 — 10.75

Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 16% wide, and it recently went unusually quiet — calmer than it has been 91% of the time. When a stock goes quiet like this, its next move tends to look big by comparison. But quiet says nothing about which way it will go: Brown Bear tested calm-before-a-move as a reason to buy, and it did not work.

Open-market Form 4 purchases and sales over the last 75 days, read from SEC EDGAR Form 4. Grants, option exercises, gifts and shares withheld for tax are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not a decision to buy or sell. Reported Form 4 activity. Brown Bear tested insider cluster-buying as a return signal and rejected it as era-unstable; shown as fact, not signal.

No absorption or distribution event in the recent window.

Takeaway Slightly more shares change hands on rising days than on falling ones, but the gap is too small to read anything into.

Options Positioning

Binary-event risk flagged

AI: binary-event risk suspected -- Term structure inverted (near 121% IV vs far 74% IV, ratio 1.64); Implied move 14.3% is 1.17x the ATR-expected 12.2% over 8d. Options market is pricing a discrete catalyst; technical breakout signals are unreliable until it resolves.

Implied volatility 121% near (8d) · 74% far (113d) — Term structure inverted — the market is pricing an event in the near window
Term structure 1.64× near/far
Historical volatility 50%

  • Term structure inverted (near 121% IV vs far 74% IV, ratio 1.64)
  • Implied move 14.3% is 1.17x the ATR-expected 12.2% over 8d

Takeaway Insuring against a move in this stock costs more for the next few weeks than for the next few months. Traders usually pay up like that when they know something is coming soon — results, a court ruling, a regulatory decision. Options traders are positioned for a move of around 14.3% in either direction by 2026-09-04. The overall shape suggests they expect a one-off result that lands either well or badly, rather than a gradual drift.

Chain as at 2026-08-27. This is a risk read on whether a specific event is being priced — not a directional view.

Detailed Scoring

Positive signals

  • Piotroski F-score 5/9 (+5.0)
  • Altman Z-score 3.00 (+3.0)
  • High earnings quality (accrual ratio 0.000) (+1.0)
  • Track 2: 20-day momentum acceleration 0.12 (+18.1)
  • Track 2: bullish DI spread 0.4 (+2.9)
  • Track 2: ADX 34.7 and falling (+7.6)
  • Track 2: EMA20 slope expanding 1.0% (+1.5)
  • Track 2: VPT strength 0.01 (+0.1)
  • Track 2: price above EMA50 by 0.4% (+0.2)
  • Track 2: EMA50 slope improving 1.9% (+2.6)
  • Track 2: Bollinger position 0.33 (+2.5)
  • Regime convergence: SUPPORT_RESISTANCE_BOUNCE confidence 60.0/100 (EMERGING) (+12.0)

Negative signals

  • Track 2: weak MACD line/signal structure (-7.0)
  • Track 2: weak volume for momentum setup (0.87x average)
  • Relative strength versus sector deteriorating
  • Weak relative momentum rank (0.02)
  • Track 2: price below EMA20 by 1.6%
  • Track 2: RSI deterioration/overheating 47.5, 5-day change -19.9
  • FCF margin unavailable: revenue missing from fundamentals cache
  • Track 2 structural exemption: structural score 9.0/100 below the 25 quality floor; this is an unowned speculative candidate, so the universal SELL gate was skipped and the Track 2 momentum/RRG grid was allowed to evaluate instead. Structural quality here is weak by design for this kind of candidate -- treat any resulting BUY as higher risk than a Track 1 signal.

Chase risk is not elevated for this name, so extension penalties are omitted from the negative signals above.
