The Businesswhat the company reports
Business & cash flow
| OCF / assets | 1.6% |
|---|---|
| FCF / revenue | 22.6% |
| Gross margin | 36.1% |
| ROIC | 5.5% |
| Forward P/E | 12.9 |
This company does not report capital expenditure in the standard filing tag, so free cash flow cannot be derived and FCF/assets is not shown — common for asset managers, REITs, insurers and utilities. OCF/assets is shown instead, and it is the other measure Brown Bear's testing found to survive. Assets are from the latest annual filing (FY2025).

Reported earnings
Revenue Net incomeEPS (GAAP) (-3.20–4.68, own scale) Derived Q4
12 quarters to Q1 26. Revenue and net income share one scale, so the gap between them is the margin. The baseline is zero — bars below it are losses. The line is GAAP EPS — it spans every quarter shown, where the reported figure only goes back as far as the consensus feed does.

History before 2022-03-31 is not shown. The share count jumps at that date by a ratio no ordinary issuance produces — a split whose factor is not in Brown Bear's split store — so earlier figures are on a different basis and cannot be compared with today's.
The Pricewhat the chart is doingTop ↑
Price Levels
| Strategy | Fair Value Anchor |
|---|---|
| Reference band | 128.09 — 139.30 |
| Protective stop | 124.26 (Structure, 7.1% risk) |
| Support | 126.76 (4 touches, 9.3% away) |
| Resistance | 140.95 (1.7% away) |
Takeaway The shares are nearer the ceiling than the floor: about 1.7% below 140.95, where sellers have turned up before, and 9.3% above 126.76, where buyers have stepped in before. That floor has held 4 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 7.1% out of pocket. That is all this figure means — an illustration of the risk, not a price to sell at.
Levels are computed from price structure. They describe where the engine locates support and extension — they are not targets, and not advice.
Ichimoku Cloud (Adaptive)
| Daily cloud | Price ABOVE the cloud | periods 7/19/38 (74% of classic 9/26/52) |
|---|---|
| Lines | Tenkan/Kijun BULL (fresh up cross, 2d ago) | cloud twist BULL (fresh up, 0d ago) |
| Cloud event | Fresh up breakout 2d ago |
| Cloud thickness | 1% percentile (thin — little structure to fight through) |
| Chikou span | Above price from 26 periods ago |
| Weekly cloud | Price ABOVE the weekly cloud (context only, not scored) |
Takeaway The stock is trading above its cloud — a shaded band drawn from several of its own moving averages, currently 127.88 to 128.00. Being above it means the medium-term picture is pointing upwards, and that band is the first place the stock has recent support if it slips back. Its shorter-term averages agree with that.

Trend context
| Position | Above trend |
|---|---|
| Extension | Normal |
| Trend slope | Flat |
| Direction of travel | Converging back to trend |
Takeaway The share price is above the level its own longer-run trend suggests is fair, and that fair level is going sideways. The gap between the two has been closing. Neither is stretched far enough to stand out.
Volatility
| State | Expanded out of a squeeze |
|---|---|
| Current band width | 20.9% of price |
| Recent tightest | 6.7% (9 sessions ago, narrower than 97.0% of its history) |
| Expansion since | 3.13× |
| Band | 112.56 — 138.88 |
Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 21% wide, and it recently went unusually quiet — calmer than it has been 97% of the time. It has started moving again since, swinging about 3.1 times as widely as during that quiet spell. A stock that has been quiet tends to make its next move look big by comparison, simply because the recent bar was low.

History begins when the site started recording, not when the company listed, so a short line means a short record and nothing more.
Who's Tradingthe flow behind the priceTop ↑
Insider activity
| Activity | No filings in the window |
|---|---|
| Buy filings | 0 |
| Sell filings | 0 |
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.
Volume confirmation
| Volume-price trend | Above its signal line |
|---|---|
| Confirmation | Strong |
No absorption or distribution event in the recent window.
Takeaway More shares change hands on the days this stock rises than on the days it falls. That is what you would expect to see if the rise is being driven by real buying rather than drifting up on a thin market.
Options Positioning
No binary-event flag
APO: no binary-event flag. Near IV 35%, far IV 34% (ratio 1.02), implied move 4.3%.
| Implied volatility | 35% near (9d) · 34% far (65d) |
|---|---|
| Term structure | 1.02× near/far |
| Historical volatility | 41% |
| Implied vs historical | 0.84× |
| Implied move | ±4.3% by 2026-08-21 |

| Skew | Put Skew (1.25×) |
| Call wall | 165.00 (+19.0% away) |
| Gamma pin | 165.00 |
Takeaway Insuring against a move in this stock costs less for the next few weeks than for the next few months, which is the normal state of affairs and suggests no particular date is worrying anyone. Options traders are positioned for a move of around 4.3% in either direction by 2026-08-21.

Negative signals
- Track 2: weak volume for momentum setup (0.65x average)
- Weak relative momentum rank (0.29)
- Below-average Altman Z-score (0.40)
- Gross margin improving by -59.5 pts (+-1.0)
- ROIC improving by -1.7 pts (+-2.0)
- Track 2 structural exemption: Z-Score 0.40 below the 1.8 insolvency-risk floor and structural score 0.0/100 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.
