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.

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 (-0.61) 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.

4 quarters to Q3 22. 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 2022-06-30 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

StrategyFair Value Anchor
Reference band 6.80 — 7.05
Protective stop 5.99 (Atr, 13.5% risk)
Support 6.85 (2 touches, 2.3% away)
Resistance 7.16 (2.1% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the ceiling than the floor: about 2.1% below 7.16, where sellers have turned up before, and 2.3% above 6.85, 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 13.5% 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)

Cloud eventFresh up breakout 3d ago
Cloud thickness11% 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 above its cloud — a shaded band drawn from several of its own moving averages, currently 6.92 to 7.00. 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.

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.

Options Positioning

No meaningful positions — the chain was read and nothing in it stands out as pricing a specific event.

  • Track 2: relative strength trend improving (+9.5)
  • Track 2: 20-day momentum acceleration 0.35 (+30.2)

  • Track 2: EMA50 slope improving 1.0% (+1.4)
  • Track 2: Bollinger position 0.50 (+3.8)

Negative signals

  • Track 2: weak MACD line/signal structure (-7.0)
  • Track 2: weak volume for momentum setup (0.90x average)
  • Track 2: bearish DI spread (-0.6)
  • Weak relative momentum rank (0.03)
  • Track 2: RSI deterioration/overheating 48.9, 5-day change -15.7
  • Weak Piotroski F-score (2/9)
  • Gross margin improving by -8.3 pts (+-0.9)
  • Poor earnings quality (accrual ratio 0.122)
  • Track 2 structural exemption: 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 is not elevated for this name, so extension penalties are omitted from the negative signals above.
