Structural scoring is not meaningful for this business

Structural scoring uses gross margin, free cash flow and Altman Z — measures built for operating companies. For banks, insurers and asset managers they produce artifacts, because the cash-flow statement is dominated by lending and deposit flows rather than operations. Treat the structural and composite figures below as not comparable with other sectors, in either direction.

  • Reported free cash flow is far outside the range an operating business can show, indicating balance-sheet rather than operating flows

Some scores are at the bottom of their range

This score sits at the bottom of the 0–100 range. The underlying calculation was negative, so the displayed value is a floor, not a measurement of zero.

OCF / assets -8.8%
FCF / revenue -825.9%
Gross margin 30.0%

FCF/assets and OCF/assets are the cash-flow measures Brown Bear's own testing found to survive; FCF/revenue is shown alongside for context. Assets are from the latest annual filing (FY2025).

Price vs Earnings growth

Trailing EPS is negative (-0.78) and forward EPS is not positive, so a growth percentage does not exist

Confidence 35.0/100

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

7 quarters to Q1 23. 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.

Price Levels

StrategyCurrent Price Reasonable
Reference band 15.70 — 16.10
Protective stop 13.20 (Atr, 16.9% risk)
Support 15.41 (4 touches, 3.4% away)
Resistance 16.27 (2.0% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the ceiling than the floor: about 2.0% below 16.27, where sellers have turned up before, and 3.4% above 15.41, where buyers have stepped in 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 16.9% out of pocket. That is all this figure means — an illustration of the risk, not a price to sell at.

Ichimoku Cloud (Adaptive)

Daily cloudPrice BELOW the cloud | periods 8/23/47 (90% of classic 9/26/52)

Cloud eventFresh down breakout 0d ago
Cloud thickness33% percentile (thin — little structure to fight through)
Chikou spanAbove price from 26 periods ago
Weekly cloudPrice 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 16.79 to 17.85. 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 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 drifting down. The gap between the two has been fairly steady. Neither is stretched far enough to stand out.

Volatility

State In a squeeze

Recent tightest27.7% (0 sessions ago, narrower than 81.0% of its history)
Expansion since1.00×
Band 14.76 — 19.51

Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 28% wide, and it recently went unusually quiet — calmer than it has been 81% 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.

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 8.5% in either direction by 2026-09-04.

Negative signals

  • Track 2: weak MACD histogram (-0.12)
  • Track 2: weak MACD line/signal structure (-7.0)
  • Track 2: MACD slope deteriorating (-2.3)
  • Track 2: weak volume for momentum setup (0.79x average)
  • Track 2: weak/falling ADX (27.8, falling)
  • Track 2: price below EMA20 by 6.1%
  • Track 2: EMA20 slope deteriorating -1.4%
  • Track 2: MACD histogram deteriorating (-0.34)

  • Track 2: price below EMA50 by 8.1%
  • Track 2: EMA50 slope deteriorating -0.1%
  • Gross margin improving by -22.9 pts (+-0.9)
  • Track 2 structural exemption: structural score 18.2/100 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.
