Revenue Net incomeEPS (GAAP) (1.16–2.29, 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 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

StrategyCurrent Price Reasonable
Reference band 395.25 — 405.28
Protective stop 374.17 (Atr, 6.5% risk)
Support 398.96 (4 touches, 0.6% away)
Resistance 414.26 (3.2% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the floor than the ceiling: about 0.6% above 398.96, a price buyers have stepped in at before, and 3.2% below 414.26, where sellers have turned up 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 6.5% 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 cloudPrice ABOVE the cloud | periods 7/20/41 (79% of classic 9/26/52)
LinesTenkan/Kijun BEAR | cloud twist BULL (fresh up, 0d ago)
Cloud eventFresh up breakout 2d ago
Cloud thickness1% percentile (thin — little structure to fight through)
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 386.20 to 386.63. 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 point the other way, so this is a mixed reading rather than a clear one.

Takeaway The share price is below the level its own longer-run trend suggests is fair, and that fair level is going sideways. The gap between the two has been closing. Neither is stretched far enough to stand out.

Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 24% wide. That is normal for this stock, so there is nothing unusual to read into it either way.

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.

The bearish mirror of this detector failed testing. A distribution event is reported as an observation, not as a warning that has been shown to work.

Takeaway More shares change hands on the days this stock rises than on the days it falls. That is what you would expect to see if the rise is being driven by real buying rather than drifting up on a thin market. There was also a day 1 session(s) ago when a great many shares changed hands and the price still failed to rise. Recorded as an observation only: Brown Bear tested this as a warning sign and it did not work.

Position only. Brown Bear's RRG redesign programme is closed — five constructions, none beat an appropriate null — so this section describes where the name sits, and is not a signal.
