Confidence 95.0/100

Revenue Net incomeEPS (GAAP) (0.06–0.38, own scale) Derived Q4

12 quarters to Q1 26. Revenue and net income share one scale, so the gap between them is the margin. 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 2017-03-31 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

StrategyCurrent Price Reasonable
Reference band 14.34 — 14.71
Protective stop 12.34 (Structure, 15.0% risk)
Support 12.83 (2 touches, 13.5% away)
Resistance 19.57 (34.4% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the floor than the ceiling: about 13.5% above 12.83, a price buyers have stepped in at before, and 34.4% below 19.57, 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 15.0% 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 cloudPrice BELOW the cloud | periods 5/14/28 (53% of classic 9/26/52)

Cloud eventFresh down breakout 5d ago
Cloud thickness62% percentile
Chikou spanNot clear of 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 15.80 to 16.68. 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 agree with that.

Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 49% wide, and it recently went unusually quiet — calmer than it has been 82% of the time. It has started moving again since, swinging about 2.8 times as widely as during that quiet spell. A stock that has been quiet tends to make its next move look big by comparison, simply because the recent bar was low.

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 Below its signal line
Confirmation Moderate
Event Absorption (3 session(s) ago)
Volume percentile98%
Range percentile34%
Close within the bar63% of range
Event level 12.83 (held)

Takeaway The heaviest trading has been happening on days when the price falls: when large numbers of shares change hands, the price has tended to go down rather than up. That tells you where the weight of trading has been. It does not tell you what happens next, and it is not a signal to sell. There was also a day 3 session(s) ago when a great many shares changed hands and the price barely moved — buyers took everything that was offered without the price falling, and it has held since.

Options Positioning

No binary-event flag

TTD: no binary-event flag. Near IV 63%, far IV 61% (ratio 1.04), implied move 7.4%.

Implied volatility 63% near (8d) · 61% far (64d)

Skew Flat (0.94×)

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 7.4% in either direction by 2026-08-21.
