Revenue Net incomeEPS (GAAP) (-3.40–2.84, own scale) Derived Q4

12 quarters to Q2 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.

The Pricewhat the chart is doingTop ↑

Price Levels

StrategyFair Value Anchor
Reference band 78.93 — 87.19
Protective stop 76.53 (Atr, 7.9% risk)
Support 86.32 (3 touches, 0.5% away)
Resistance 87.47 (0.8% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the floor than the ceiling: about 0.5% above 86.32, a price buyers have stepped in at before, and 0.8% below 87.47, where sellers have turned up 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 7.9% 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 ABOVE the cloud | periods 6/18/37 (71% of classic 9/26/52)
LinesTenkan/Kijun BULL | cloud twist BULL
Cloud thickness90% percentile (thick — substantial structure)
Chikou spanAbove price from 26 periods ago
Weekly cloudPrice ABOVE 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 83.03 to 86.35. 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. The band is unusually wide at the moment, so it marks a broad zone rather than a single level.

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.

  • Track 2: EMA50 slope improving 3.4% (+6.0)
  • Track 2: Bollinger position 0.59 (+4.7)

Negative signals

  • Track 2: weak MACD line/signal structure (-15.0)
  • Track 2: weak volume for momentum setup (0.49x average)
  • Track 2: MACD histogram deteriorating (-0.81)
  • Track 2: RSI deterioration/overheating 63.9, 5-day change -9.6
  • Below-average Altman Z-score (1.24)
  • Gross margin improving by -2.3 pts (+-1.0)
  • ROIC improving by -3.1 pts (+-2.0)
  • Track 2 structural exemption: Z-Score 1.24 below the 1.8 insolvency-risk floor and structural score 1.4/100 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.
