Reported earnings
Revenue Net incomeEPS (GAAP) (-1.31–24.67, 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
| Strategy | Fair Value Anchor |
|---|---|
| Reference band | 712.76 — 915.85 |
| Protective stop | 648.86 (Atr, 20.3% risk) |
| Support | 364.98 (2 touches, 149.7% away) |
| Resistance | 929.93 (2.0% away) |
Takeaway The shares are nearer the ceiling than the floor: about 2.0% below 929.93, where sellers have turned up before, and 149.7% above 364.98, 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 20.3% 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 INSIDE the cloud | periods 6/17/33 (64% of classic 9/26/52) |
|---|---|
| Lines | Tenkan/Kijun BEAR | cloud twist BEAR |
| Cloud thickness | 43% percentile |
| Chikou span | Above price from 26 periods ago |
| Weekly cloud | Price ABOVE 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 902.23 to 968.29. Inside the band those averages disagree with each other, so the indicator is not saying much either way. Its shorter-term averages agree with that.

Trend context
| Position | Far above trend |
|---|---|
| Extension | Extremely extended |
| Trend slope | Flat |
| Direction of travel | Diverging from trend |
Takeaway Extreme upside extension is still moving away from fair trend; chase risk is elevated.
Volatility
| State | No recent compression |
|---|---|
| Current band width | 25.9% of price |
| Recent tightest | 25.9% (1 sessions ago, narrower than 79.0% of its history) |
| Expansion since | 1.00× |
| Band | 765.09 — 993.08 |
Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 26% wide. That is normal for this stock, so there is nothing unusual to read into it either way.
Historical trends
History begins when the site started recording, not when the company listed, so a short line means a short record and nothing more.
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 | Above its signal line |

| Confirmation | Marginal |
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.
Options Positioning
No binary-event flag
MU: no binary-event flag. Near IV 65%, far IV 70% (ratio 0.92), implied move 7.2%.
| Implied volatility | 65% near (7d) · 70% far (65d) |
|---|---|
| Term structure | 0.92× near/far |
| Historical volatility | 108% |
| Implied vs historical | 0.60× |
| Implied move | ±7.2% by 2026-08-19 |
| Implied move vs ATR | 0.37× |

| Call wall | 1,000.00 (+9.7% away) |
| Put wall | 60.00 (-93.4% away) |
| Gamma pin | 60.00 |
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 7.2% in either direction by 2026-08-19.

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.
