The Businesswhat the company reports

Business & cash flow

FCF / assets 11.8%
OCF / assets 14.5%
FCF / revenue 33.5%
Gross margin 75.1%
ROIC -1.4%
Forward P/E 141.6

FCF/assets and OCF/assets are the cash-flow measures Brown Bear's own testing found to survive; FCF/revenue is shown alongside for context. Assets are from the latest annual filing (FY2026).

Price vs Earnings growth

Trailing EPS is negative (-0.02), so a growth percentage does not exist — forward EPS of 1.57 implies a swing from loss to profit

Confidence 35.0/100

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

History before 2020-04-30 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.

Counts are restated for the 4:1 split of 2026-07-02, which would otherwise read as a share issuance.

Price Levels

StrategyWait For Pullback
Reference band 201.03 — 207.12
Protective stop 182.99 (Atr, 10.3% risk)
Support 108.67 (4 touches, 104.1% away)
Resistance (— away)

Takeaway The shares are about 104.1% above 108.67, a price buyers have stepped in at before. There is no ceiling to point to, because the stock is trading where it has not traded before and nobody has sold it at these levels. 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 10.3% 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.

Weekly cloudPrice 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 190.67 to 203.80. 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.

Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 30% wide, and it recently went unusually quiet — calmer than it has been 92% of the time. It has started moving again since, swinging about 1.6 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.

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 Above its signal line
Confirmation Moderate

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.

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 6.5% in either direction by 2026-08-21.
