Reported earnings
Revenue Net incomeEPS (GAAP) (2.24–4.73, 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 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
| Strategy | Fair Value Anchor |
|---|---|
| Reference band | 166.42 — 178.80 |
| Protective stop | 163.03 (Atr, 5.5% risk) |
| Support | 175.58 (2 touches, 1.3% away) |
| Resistance | 181.74 (2.1% away) |
Takeaway The shares are nearer the floor than the ceiling: about 1.3% above 175.58, a price buyers have stepped in at before, and 2.1% below 181.74, 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 5.5% 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 6/18/36 (69% of classic 9/26/52) |
|---|---|
| Lines | Tenkan/Kijun BULL | cloud twist BULL |
| Cloud event | Fresh down breakout 0d ago |
| Cloud thickness | 24% percentile (thin — little structure to fight through) |
| Chikou span | Not clear of price from 26 periods ago |
| Weekly cloud | Price 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 179.86 to 181.72. 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 point the other way, so this is a mixed reading rather than a clear one.

| Trend slope | Rising |
| Direction of travel | Converging back to trend |
Takeaway Extreme upside extension above Kalman fair trend; entry risk is elevated.

| Recent tightest | 8.7% (9 sessions ago, narrower than 43.0% of its history) |
| Expansion since | 1.06× |
| Band | 173.02 — 189.87 |
Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 9% 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
| 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

| Implied volatility | 47% near (9d) · 33% far (100d) — Term structure inverted — the market is pricing an event in the near window |

| Term structure | 1.41× near/far |
| Historical volatility | 31% |
| Implied vs historical | 1.49× |
| Implied move | ±5.9% by 2026-08-21 |

| Put wall | 75.00 (-57.8% away) |
| Gamma pin | 165.00 |
- Term structure inverted (near 47% IV vs far 33% IV, ratio 1.41)
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 5.9% in either direction by 2026-08-21.

Negative signals
- Underperforming sector over 20 days
- Track 2: weak MACD histogram (-0.68)
- Track 2: weak MACD line/signal structure (-12.0)
- Track 2: MACD slope deteriorating (-5.0)
- Track 2: weak volume for momentum setup (0.63x average)
- Relative strength versus sector deteriorating
- Track 2: negative 20-day momentum acceleration (-0.10)
- Track 2: weak/falling ADX (12.0, falling)
- Track 2: price below EMA20 by 1.6%
- Track 2: MACD histogram deteriorating (-0.58)
- Track 2: weak VPT confirmation (-0.00)
- Below-average Altman Z-score (2.39)
- Gross margin improving by -66.1 pts (+-1.0)
- Track 2 structural exemption: structural score 19.4/100 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.
