Share count
Diluted shares Return since the previous filing
| Direction | Flat — little net change |
|---|---|
| Diluted shares | 1,976.5M as at 2026-03-31 |
| Change over 1 year | +0.7% |
| Change over 3 years | -6.7% |
| Public float | $56.51bn as at 2025-06-30 (10-K) |
History before 2011-12-31 is not shown. The share count jumps at that date by a ratio no ordinary issuance produces — a split whose factor is not in Brown Bear's split store — so earlier figures are on a different basis and cannot be compared with today's.
Counts are restated for the 2:1 split of 2023-03-28, 2:1 split of 2026-08-11, which would otherwise read as a share issuance.
The Pricewhat the chart is doingTop ↑
Price Levels
| Strategy | Current Price Reasonable |
|---|---|
| Reference band | 45.98 — 47.15 |
| Protective stop | 41.52 (Atr, 10.8% risk) |
| Support | — (0 touches, — away) |
| Resistance | 77.93 (66.9% away) |
Takeaway The shares are about 66.9% below 77.93, where sellers have turned up before. There is no floor to point to in the recent record. If someone bought at today's price and sold if it dropped through the level below, they would be about 10.8% 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 5/13/26 (51% of classic 9/26/52) |
|---|---|
| Lines | Tenkan/Kijun BEAR (fresh down cross, 4d ago) | cloud twist BEAR (fresh down, 1d ago) |
| Cloud thickness | 100% percentile (thick — substantial structure) |
| Chikou span | Not clear of price from 26 periods ago |
| Weekly cloud | Price BELOW 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 59.52 to 72.69. 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 agree with that. The band is unusually wide at the moment, so it marks a broad zone rather than a single level.

Trend context

| Extension | Oversold |
| Trend slope | Flat |
| Direction of travel | Converging back to trend |
Takeaway Oversold relative to a stable or improving Kalman trend.
Volatility
| State | Expanded out of a squeeze |
|---|---|
| Current band width | 82.7% of price |
| Recent tightest | 6.6% (8 sessions ago, narrower than 88.0% of its history) |
| Expansion since | 12.48× |
| Range broken | Down |
| Band | 51.61 — 124.32 |
Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 83% wide, and it recently went unusually quiet — calmer than it has been 88% of the time. It has started moving again since, swinging about 12.5 times as widely as during that quiet spell, and it broke downwards. A stock that has been quiet tends to make its next move look big by comparison, simply because the recent bar was low.

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 | Strong |
| Event | Absorption (today) |
|---|---|
| Volume percentile | 94% |
| Range percentile | 2% |
| Close within the bar | 69% of range |
| Event level | 46.05 (held) |
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. There was also a day today when a great many shares changed hands and the price barely moved — buyers took everything that was offered without the price falling, and it has held since.
Options Positioning
Binary-event risk flagged
MNST: binary-event risk suspected -- Term structure inverted (near 135% IV vs far 29% IV, ratio 4.68); Implied move 99.9% is 8.17x the ATR-expected 12.2% over 8d. Options market is pricing a discrete catalyst; technical breakout signals are unreliable until it resolves.
| Implied volatility | 135% near (8d) · 29% far (127d) — Term structure inverted — the market is pricing an event in the near window |
|---|---|
| Term structure | 4.68× near/far |
| Historical volatility | 178% |
| Implied vs historical | 0.76× |
| Implied move | ±99.9% by 2026-08-21 — Large relative to this stock's normal daily range |
| Implied move vs ATR | 8.17× |
| Call wall | 110.00 (+135.7% away) |
| Gamma pin | 110.00 |
- Term structure inverted (near 135% IV vs far 29% IV, ratio 4.68)
- Implied move 99.9% is 8.17x the ATR-expected 12.2% over 8d
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 99.9% in either direction by 2026-08-21. The overall shape suggests they expect a one-off result that lands either well or badly, rather than a gradual drift.
Chain as at 2026-08-13. This is a risk read on whether a specific event is being priced — not a directional view.
