Share count
Diluted shares Return since the previous filing
| Direction | Growing — shares issued |
|---|---|
| Diluted shares | 2,285.0M as at 2026-06-30 |
| Change over 1 year | +3.7% |
| Change over 3 years | +6.8% |
| Public float | $37.25bn as at 2025-06-30 (10-K) |
History before 2021-03-31 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.
The Pricewhat the chart is doingTop ↑
Price Levels
| Strategy | Fair Value Anchor |
|---|---|
| Reference band | 17.18 — 17.70 |
| Protective stop | 16.20 (Atr, 7.1% risk) |
| Support | 17.34 (2 touches, 0.2% away) |
| Resistance | 17.48 (0.6% away) |
Takeaway The shares are nearer the floor than the ceiling: about 0.2% above 17.34, a price buyers have stepped in at before, and 0.6% below 17.48, 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 7.1% 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 5/14/28 (53% of classic 9/26/52) |
|---|---|
| Lines | Tenkan/Kijun BULL | cloud twist BEAR |
| Cloud thickness | 57% percentile |
| Chikou span | Not clear of 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 17.25 to 17.60. 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.
Trailing returns
| 21 days | -0.3% |
|---|---|
| 63 days | +3.4% |
| 126 days | +3.8% |
| 252 days | +15.0% |
| Below 252d high | 9.1% |
Trend context
| Position | At trend |
|---|---|
| Extension | Normal |
| Trend slope | Flat |
| Direction of travel | Converging back to trend |
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.
Volatility
| State | In a squeeze |
|---|---|
| Current band width | 6.2% of price |
| Recent tightest | 5.5% (5 sessions ago, narrower than 99.0% of its history) |
| Expansion since | 1.13× |
| Band | 16.95 — 18.03 |
Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 6% wide, and it recently went unusually quiet — calmer than it has been 99% 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.

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
PCG: no binary-event flag. Near IV 38%, far IV 39% (ratio 0.97), implied move 4.8%.
| Implied volatility | 38% near (9d) · 39% far (65d) |
|---|---|
| Term structure | 0.97× near/far |
| Historical volatility | 27% |
| Implied vs historical | 1.41× |
| Implied move | ±4.8% by 2026-08-21 |
| Implied move vs ATR | 0.56× |

| Call wall | 28.00 (+61.1% away) |
| Put wall | 5.00 (-71.2% away) |
| Gamma pin | 12.00 |
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 4.8% in either direction by 2026-08-21.

Negative signals
- Track 2: weak MACD line/signal structure (-12.0)
- Track 2: MACD slope deteriorating (-5.0)
- Track 2: weak volume for momentum setup (0.70x average)
- Track 2: negative 20-day momentum acceleration (-0.06)

- Track 2: EMA20 slope deteriorating -0.4%
- Below-average Altman Z-score (1.39)
- ROIC improving by -0.2 pts (+-2.0)
- Track 2 structural exemption: Z-Score 1.39 below the 1.8 insolvency-risk floor and structural score 4.0/100 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 is not elevated for this name, so extension penalties are omitted from the negative signals above.
