Reported earnings
Revenue Net incomeEPS (GAAP) (0.32–2.45, 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 line is GAAP EPS — it spans every quarter shown, where the reported figure only goes back as far as the consensus feed does.

Share count
Diluted shares Return since the previous filing
| Direction | Shrinking — shares retired |
|---|---|
| Diluted shares | 457.0M as at 2026-03-31 |
| Change over 1 year | -3.8% |
| Change over 3 years | -15.5% |
| Public float | $34.09bn as at 2025-06-30 (10-K) |
History before 2015-06-30 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.
The Pricewhat the chart is doingTop ↑
Price Levels
| Strategy | Fair Value Anchor |
|---|---|
| Reference band | 98.23 — 102.82 |
| Protective stop | 94.85 (Structure, 5.6% risk) |
| Support | 96.78 (2 touches, 5.7% away) |
| Resistance | 111.69 (9.2% away) |
Takeaway The shares are nearer the floor than the ceiling: about 5.7% above 96.78, a price buyers have stepped in at before, and 9.2% below 111.69, where sellers have turned up 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 5.6% 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 cloud | Price BELOW the cloud | periods 5/14/27 (52% of classic 9/26/52) |
|---|---|
| Lines | Tenkan/Kijun BEAR (fresh down cross, 1d ago) | cloud twist BULL (fresh up, 0d ago) |
| Cloud event | Fresh down breakout 2d ago |
| Cloud thickness | 8% percentile (thin — little structure to fight through) |
| Chikou span | Not clear of price from 26 periods ago |
| Weekly cloud | Price INSIDE 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 110.00 to 110.26. 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.
Trailing returns

| 63 days | -7.3% |
| 126 days | +17.0% |

Trend context
| Position | At trend |
|---|---|
| Extension | Normal |
| Trend slope | Flat |
| Direction of travel | Converging back to trend |
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 closing. Neither is stretched far enough to stand out.
Volatility
| State | Expanded out of a squeeze |
|---|---|
| Current band width | 12.6% of price |
| Recent tightest | 8.3% (8 sessions ago, narrower than 85.0% of its history) |
| Expansion since | 1.51× |
| Range broken | Down |
| Band | 104.00 — 117.94 |
Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 13% wide, and it recently went unusually quiet — calmer than it has been 85% of the time. It has started moving again since, swinging about 1.5 times as widely as during that quiet spell, and it broke downwards. A stock that has been quiet tends to make its next move look big by comparison, simply because the recent bar was low.

Who's Tradingthe flow behind the priceTop ↑
Insider activity
| Activity | No filings in the window |
|---|---|
| Buy filings | 0 |
| Sell filings | 0 |
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.
Options Positioning

- Term structure inverted (near 38% IV vs far 34% IV, ratio 1.13)
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 4.8% in either direction by 2026-08-21.
