The Businesswhat the company reports

Business & cash flow

OCF / assets 6.3%
FCF / revenue 21.6%
Gross margin 29.3%
ROIC 5.4%
Forward P/E 16.6

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 +32.1pp

Confidence 95.0/100

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

Revenue Net incomeEPS (GAAP) (0.38–1.90, own scale) Derived Q4

12 quarters to Q1 18. 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

StrategyCurrent Price Reasonable
Reference band 136.60 — 140.07
Protective stop 131.62 (Structure, 4.8% risk)
Support 133.12 (3 touches, 4.2% away)
Resistance 143.58 (3.5% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the ceiling than the floor: about 3.5% below 143.58, where sellers have turned up before, and 4.2% above 133.12, 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 4.8% 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 BELOW the cloud | periods 5/15/30 (58% of classic 9/26/52)
LinesTenkan/Kijun BEAR | cloud twist BEAR
Cloud thickness100% percentile (thick — substantial structure)
Chikou spanNot clear of price from 26 periods ago
Weekly cloudPrice BELOW the weekly cloud (context only, not scored)

Takeaway The stock is trading below its cloud — a shaded band drawn from several of its own moving averages, currently 140.84 to 145.75. Being below it means the medium-term picture is pointing downwards, and that band is the first hurdle it would have to climb back through. Its shorter-term averages agree with that. The band is unusually wide at the moment, so it marks a broad zone rather than a single level.

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.

Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 11% wide. That is normal for this stock, so there is nothing unusual to read into it either way.

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 Moderate

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 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 2.6% in either direction by 2026-08-21.

Negative signals

  • Track 2: weak MACD histogram (-0.62)
  • Track 2: weak MACD line/signal structure (-12.0)
  • Track 2: negative MACD regime (-8.0)
  • Track 2: MACD slope deteriorating (-5.0)
  • Track 2: weak volume for momentum setup (0.65x average)
  • Relative strength versus sector deteriorating
  • Track 2: negative 20-day momentum acceleration (-0.05)
  • Track 2: bearish DI spread (-18.0)
  • Weak relative momentum rank (0.33)
  • Track 2: price below EMA20 by 2.8%
  • Track 2: EMA20 slope deteriorating -1.8%
  • Track 2: RSI deterioration/overheating 22.0, 5-day change -4.0
  • Track 2: weak VPT confirmation (-0.17)
  • Track 2: price below EMA50 by 4.4%
  • Track 2: EMA50 slope deteriorating -1.7%
  • Below-average Altman Z-score (1.92)
  • Gross margin improving by -5.5 pts (+-1.0)
  • Track 2 structural exemption: structural score 11.0/100 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.
