Revenue Net incomeEPS (GAAP) (-0.02–1.30, 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.

Price Levels

StrategyFair Value Anchor
Reference band 23.07 — 24.70
Protective stop 22.80 (Structure, 4.5% risk)
Support 23.09 (4 touches, 6.5% away)
Resistance 25.43 (3.5% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the ceiling than the floor: about 3.5% below 25.43, where sellers have turned up before, and 6.5% above 23.09, 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 4.5% 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)

LinesTenkan/Kijun BULL | cloud twist BULL
Cloud eventFresh up breakout 5d ago
Cloud thickness75% percentile
Chikou spanAbove price from 26 periods ago
Weekly cloudPrice INSIDE 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 22.61 to 23.78. 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 The share price is above the level its own longer-run trend suggests is fair, and that fair level is climbing. The gap between the two has been widening. Neither is stretched far enough to stand out.

Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 14% wide. That is normal for this stock, so there is nothing unusual to read into it either way.

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

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.

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 2.6% in either direction by 2026-08-21.
