No annual filing with both total assets and a cash-flow figure is cached for this name, so neither validated measure can be computed. FCF/revenue is shown instead, which is not the validated measure.

Price vs Earnings growth

Forward EPS growth has outpaced trailing price return by +63.6pp

Confidence 95.0/100

Takeaway Earnings growth is outpacing price — consistent with the stock not yet fully reflecting its improving forward estimates.

Price Levels

StrategyFair Value Anchor
Reference band 134.99 — 151.04
Protective stop 130.26 (Atr, 8.9% risk)
Support 121.45 (2 touches, 23.8% away)
Resistance 154.75 (3.0% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the ceiling than the floor: about 3.0% below 154.75, where sellers have turned up before, and 23.8% above 121.45, 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 8.9% 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 ABOVE the cloud | periods 9/26/52 (100% of classic 9/26/52)
LinesTenkan/Kijun BULL | cloud twist BULL
Cloud thickness82% percentile (thick — substantial structure)
Chikou spanAbove price from 26 periods ago
Weekly cloudPrice ABOVE 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 132.44 to 142.33. 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. The band is unusually wide at the moment, so it marks a broad zone rather than a single level.

Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 36% wide. That is normal for this stock, so there is nothing unusual to read into it either way.

Repair Pathway

Who's Tradingthe flow behind the priceTop ↑

Insider activity

ActivityNo filings in the window
Buy filings0
Sell filings0

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

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.

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 5.1% in either direction by 2026-09-04.

  • Track 2: EMA50 slope improving 6.5% (+3.5)
  • Track 2: Bollinger position 0.61 (+4.7)

Negative signals

  • Track 2: weak MACD histogram (-0.57)
  • Track 2: weak MACD line/signal structure (-7.0)
  • Track 2: MACD slope deteriorating (-2.3)
  • Track 2: weak volume for momentum setup (0.53x average)
  • Weak relative momentum rank (0.47)
  • Track 2: Bearish MACD divergence
  • Track 2: MACD histogram deteriorating (-0.88)
  • Track 2: RSI deterioration/overheating 53.3, 5-day change -14.4
  • FCF margin unavailable: revenue missing from fundamentals cache
  • Track 2 structural exemption: structural score 9.0/100 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.
