Price vs Earnings growth

Trailing EPS is negative (-96.31), so a growth percentage does not exist — forward EPS of 49.49 implies a swing from loss to profit

Confidence 35.0/100

Takeaway Low data confidence (limited analyst coverage) — treat this section as informational only.

Revenue Net incomeEPS (GAAP) (-44.79–32.67, 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 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.

History before 2024-09-30 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.

The Pricewhat the chart is doingTop ↑

Price Levels

StrategyCurrent Price Reasonable
Reference band 121.34 — 124.42
Protective stop 107.37 (Atr, 12.6% risk)
Support 121.26 (2 touches, 1.6% away)
Resistance 135.53 (10.0% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the floor than the ceiling: about 1.6% above 121.26, a price buyers have stepped in at before, and 10.0% below 135.53, 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 12.6% out of pocket. That is all this figure means — an illustration of the risk, not a price to sell at.

Cloud thickness12% 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 105.23 to 108.90. 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.

Takeaway The share price is close to 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.

Recent tightest10.4% (6 sessions ago, narrower than 99.0% of its history)

Band 80.23 — 125.36

Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 44% wide, and it recently went unusually quiet — calmer than it has been 99% of the time. It has started moving again since, swinging about 4.2 times as widely as during that quiet spell. A stock that has been quiet tends to make its next move look big by comparison, simply because the recent bar was low.

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 8.8% in either direction by 2026-09-04.

Negative signals

  • Track 2: weak volume for momentum setup (0.73x average)
  • Weak relative momentum rank (0.00)
  • Track 2: Bearish MACD divergence
  • Chase risk 45.7/100 (Elevated Chase Risk): RSI 71.1, EMA20 15.4%, EMA50 13.8%, BB 0.95, distribution 16.6/100

  • ROIC improving by -1.6 pts (+-1.8)
  • Track 2 structural exemption: Z-Score 1.63 below the 1.8 insolvency-risk floor and structural score 0.0/100 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 45.7/100 | Extension score 54.3/100 | Elevated Chase Risk
