Some scores are at the bottom of their range

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.

Gross margin 0.0%
ROIC 0.0%
Forward P/E 9.6

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

Forward EPS growth has outpaced trailing price return by +91.6pp

Confidence 95.0/100

Takeaway Earnings growth is outpacing price — consistent with the stock not yet fully reflecting its improving forward estimates.

Price Levels

StrategyCurrent Price Reasonable
Reference band 41.86 — 42.92
Protective stop 40.67 (Atr, 4.1% risk)
Support 42.31 (3 touches, 0.4% away)
Resistance 44.32 (4.3% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the floor than the ceiling: about 0.4% above 42.31, a price buyers have stepped in at before, and 4.3% below 44.32, 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 4.1% out of pocket. That is all this figure means — an illustration of the risk, not a price to sell at.

Ichimoku Cloud (Adaptive)

Daily cloudPrice INSIDE the cloud | periods 9/25/51 (98% of classic 9/26/52)
LinesTenkan/Kijun BULL | cloud twist BULL
Cloud thickness62% percentile
Chikou spanNot clear of price from 26 periods ago
Weekly cloudPrice INSIDE 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 40.74 to 42.93. 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 41.05 — 45.40

Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 10% wide, and it recently went unusually quiet — calmer than it has been 86% 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.

Who's Tradingthe flow behind the priceTop ↑

Insider activity

ActivityNo filings in the window
Buy filings0
Sell filings0

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 Below its signal line
Confirmation Marginal

No absorption or distribution event in the recent window.

Takeaway The heaviest trading has been happening on days when the price falls: when large numbers of shares change hands, the price has tended to go down rather than up. That tells you where the weight of trading has been. It does not tell you what happens next, and it is not a signal to sell.

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 3.4% in either direction by 2026-09-04.

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: volume expansion 1.34x average (+7.4)
  • Track 2: bullish DI spread 7.5 (+2.9)
  • Track 2: relative momentum rank 0.65 (+4.8)
  • Track 2: EMA20 slope expanding 0.9% (+1.4)
  • Track 2: RSI trend quality 51.7, 5-day change +4.1 (+3.1)
  • Track 2: EMA50 slope improving 1.1% (+1.6)
  • Track 2: Bollinger position 0.33 (+2.6)

Negative signals

  • Underperforming sector over 20 days
  • Track 2: weak MACD histogram (-0.10)
  • Track 2: weak MACD line/signal structure (-5.6)
  • Relative strength versus sector deteriorating
  • Track 2: negative 20-day momentum acceleration (-0.19)
  • Track 2: weak/falling ADX (9.7, flat)
  • Track 2: price below EMA20 by 1.3%
  • Track 2: weak VPT confirmation (-0.06)
  • 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.
