Price vs Earnings growth

Trailing EPS is negative (-1.79), so a growth percentage does not exist — forward EPS of 1.84 implies a swing from loss to profit

Confidence 35.0/100

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

Revenue Net incomeEPS (GAAP) (-1.18–0.73, 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.

Price Levels

StrategyAt Support Zone
Reference band 29.01 — 29.89
Protective stop 26.78 (Atr, 9.1% risk)
Support 29.30 (3 touches, 4.3% away)
Resistance 30.92 (1.1% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the ceiling than the floor: about 1.1% below 30.92, where sellers have turned up before, and 4.3% above 29.30, where buyers have stepped in 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 9.1% 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.

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 29.63 to 31.42. Inside the band those averages disagree with each other, so the indicator is not saying much either way. Its shorter-term averages agree with that.

Trend context

Takeaway The share price is close to 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. Neither is stretched far enough to stand out.

Current band width9.2% of price
Recent tightest8.4% (3 sessions ago, narrower than 99.0% of its history)
Expansion since1.10×
Band 28.73 — 31.51

Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 9% wide, and it recently went unusually quiet — calmer than it has been 99% 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.

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 4.7% in either direction by 2026-08-21.

Negative signals

  • Track 2: negative MACD regime (-8.0)
  • Track 2: weak volume for momentum setup (0.51x average)
  • Track 2: bearish DI spread (-3.7)
  • Track 2: weak/falling ADX (12.3, falling)
  • Track 2: RSI deterioration/overheating 48.4, 5-day change -3.9
  • Track 2: price below EMA50 by 1.7%

  • Below-average Altman Z-score (1.50)
  • Gross margin improving by -0.9 pts (+-1.0)
  • ROIC improving by -8.5 pts (+-2.0)
  • Track 2 structural exemption: Z-Score 1.50 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.
