Price vs Earnings growth

Trailing EPS is negative (-2.65), so a growth percentage does not exist — forward EPS of 9.87 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) (-3.34–2.43, 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 126.81 — 130.66
Protective stop 119.06 (Atr, 7.5% risk)
Support 128.10 (9 touches, 6.1% away)
Resistance 137.20 (1.0% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the ceiling than the floor: about 1.0% below 137.20, where sellers have turned up before, and 6.1% above 128.10, where buyers have stepped in before. That floor has held 9 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 7.5% out of pocket. That is all this figure means — an illustration of the risk, not a price to sell at.

Cloud eventFresh up breakout 3d ago

Chikou spanAbove price from 26 periods ago
Weekly cloudPrice INSIDE 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 132.00 to 134.11. 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

PositionAbove trend
ExtensionExtended
Trend slopeFlat
Direction of travelDiverging from trend

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

Volatility

State In a squeeze
Current band width6.6% of price
Recent tightest5.8% (3 sessions ago, narrower than 96.0% of its history)
Expansion since1.13×
Band 128.17 — 136.88

Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 7% wide, and it recently went unusually quiet — calmer than it has been 96% 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.

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.

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 3.8% in either direction by 2026-08-21.
