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.

History before 2018-09-30 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

StrategyCurrent Price Reasonable
Reference band 82.07 — 84.15
Protective stop 81.22 (Structure, 2.3% risk)
Support 82.02 (4 touches, 1.6% away)
Resistance 84.21 (1.1% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the ceiling than the floor: about 1.1% below 84.21, where sellers have turned up before, and 1.6% above 82.02, where buyers have stepped in before. 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 2.3% out of pocket. That is all this figure means — an illustration of the risk, not a price to sell at.

Ichimoku Cloud (Adaptive)

Daily cloudPrice BELOW the cloud | periods 5/15/31 (59% of classic 9/26/52)
LinesTenkan/Kijun BEAR | cloud twist BEAR
Cloud thickness82% percentile (thick — substantial structure)
Chikou spanNot clear of price from 26 periods ago
Weekly cloudPrice ABOVE 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 83.72 to 85.03. 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.

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 8% 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 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

Binary-event risk flagged

EVRG: binary-event risk suspected -- Term structure inverted (near 40% IV vs far 20% IV, ratio 2.03); Implied move 5.0% is 0.86x the ATR-expected 5.8% over 9d. Options market is pricing a discrete catalyst; technical breakout signals are unreliable until it resolves.

Implied volatility 40% near (9d) · 20% far (128d) — Term structure inverted — the market is pricing an event in the near window
Term structure 2.03× near/far
Historical volatility 17%
Implied vs historical 2.39× — Options are priced well above what the stock has actually done
Implied move ±5.0% by 2026-08-21 — Large relative to this stock's normal daily range
Implied move vs ATR 0.86×
Skew Flat (1.10×)
Call wall 90.00 (+8.0% away)
Put wall 77.50 (-7.0% away)
Gamma pin 77.50
  • Term structure inverted (near 40% IV vs far 20% IV, ratio 2.03)
  • Implied move 5.0% is 0.86x the ATR-expected 5.8% over 9d

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. The overall shape suggests they expect a one-off result that lands either well or badly, rather than a gradual drift.

Chain as at 2026-08-12. This is a risk read on whether a specific event is being priced — not a directional view.
