The Businesswhat the company reports

Business & cash flow

OCF / assets 4.9%
FCF / revenue 39.5%
Gross margin 57.0%
ROIC 4.0%
Forward P/E 67.2

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).

Price vs Earnings growth

Forward EPS growth has outpaced trailing price return by +245.7pp

Confidence 95.0/100

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

12 quarters to Q1 26. Revenue and net income share one scale, so the gap between them is the margin. The line is GAAP EPS — it spans every quarter shown, where the reported figure only goes back as far as the consensus feed does.

The Pricewhat the chart is doingTop ↑

Price Levels

StrategyFair Value Anchor
Reference band 178.03 — 198.05
Protective stop 172.18 (Atr, 8.4% risk)
Support 192.26 (2 touches, 2.5% away)
Resistance 201.42 (2.2% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the ceiling than the floor: about 2.2% below 201.42, where sellers have turned up before, and 2.5% above 192.26, where buyers have stepped in before. That floor has held 2 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 8.4% 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 cloudPrice ABOVE the cloud | periods 5/14/27 (52% of classic 9/26/52)
LinesTenkan/Kijun BULL | cloud twist BULL (fresh up, 3d ago)
Cloud thickness10% percentile (thin — little structure to fight through)
Chikou spanAbove price from 26 periods ago
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 189.25 to 189.79. 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

ExtensionExtended
Trend slopeFlat
Direction of travelHolding its deviation

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 fairly steady. Being stretched this far above trend measures how much room there is to fall back — it does not say the stock will stop rising.

Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 17% wide. That is normal for this stock, so there is nothing unusual to read into it either way.

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 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.

  • Term structure inverted (near 40% IV vs far 28% IV, ratio 1.40)

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 5.0% in either direction by 2026-08-21.
