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

StrategyCurrent Price Reasonable
Reference band 218.57 — 224.12
Protective stop 200.48 (Structure, 9.4% risk)
Support 206.19 (2 touches, 7.6% away)
Resistance 226.65 (2.1% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the ceiling than the floor: about 2.1% below 226.65, where sellers have turned up before, and 7.6% above 206.19, where buyers have stepped in 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 9.4% 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 INSIDE the cloud | periods 6/17/34 (65% of classic 9/26/52)
LinesTenkan/Kijun BULL (fresh up cross, 6d ago) | cloud twist BEAR
Cloud thickness90% percentile (thick — substantial structure)
Chikou spanAbove price from 26 periods ago
Weekly cloudPrice BELOW the weekly cloud (context only, not scored)

Takeaway The stock is trading inside its cloud — a shaded band drawn from several of its own moving averages, currently 204.87 to 242.00. Inside the band those averages disagree with each other, so the indicator is not saying much either way. Its shorter-term averages point the other way, so this is a mixed reading rather than a clear one. The band is unusually wide at the moment, so it marks a broad zone rather than a single level.

Band 190.02 — 226.68

Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 18% wide, and it recently went unusually quiet — calmer than it has been 80% 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.

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 Above its signal line

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 6.3% in either direction by 2026-08-21.

Negative signals

  • Track 2: negative MACD regime (-8.0)
  • Track 2: weak volume for momentum setup (0.81x average)
  • Track 2: EMA20 slope deteriorating -0.4%
  • Track 2: price below EMA50 by 2.9%
  • Track 2: EMA50 slope deteriorating -3.8%
  • ROIC improving by -6.1 pts (+-2.0)
  • Track 2 structural exemption: structural score 18.4/100 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.
