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
Trailing EPS is negative (-0.49), so a growth percentage does not exist — forward EPS of 4.60 implies a swing from loss to profit

The Pricewhat the chart is doingTop ↑
Price Levels
| Strategy | Current Price Reasonable |
|---|---|
| Reference band | 167.76 — 172.01 |
| Protective stop | 158.80 (Structure, 6.5% risk) |
| Support | 162.94 (2 touches, 4.5% away) |
| Resistance | 191.11 (12.2% away) |
Takeaway The shares are nearer the floor than the ceiling: about 4.5% above 162.94, a price buyers have stepped in at before, and 12.2% below 191.11, 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 6.5% 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)
| Daily cloud | Price INSIDE the cloud | periods 7/21/43 (82% of classic 9/26/52) |
|---|---|
| Lines | Tenkan/Kijun BULL | cloud twist BULL |
| Cloud thickness | 69% percentile |
| Chikou span | Above price from 26 periods ago |
| Weekly cloud | Price INSIDE the weekly cloud (context only, not scored) |
Takeaway The stock is trading inside its cloud — a shaded band drawn from several of its own moving averages, currently 158.10 to 174.81. Inside the band those averages disagree with each other, so the indicator is not saying much either way. Its shorter-term averages point the other way, so this is a mixed reading rather than a clear one.

Trend context
| Position | Below trend |
|---|---|
| Extension | Normal |
| Trend slope | Flat |
| Direction of travel | Diverging from trend |
Takeaway The share price is below the level its own longer-run trend suggests is fair, and that fair level is going sideways. The gap between the two has been widening. Neither is stretched far enough to stand out.

| Band | 148.16 — 195.91 |
Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 28% wide. That is normal for this stock, so there is nothing unusual to read into it either way.

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.
Options Positioning
Binary-event risk flagged
ZS: binary-event risk suspected -- Term structure inverted (near 119% IV vs far 63% IV, ratio 1.89); Implied move 14.0% is 1.05x the ATR-expected 13.4% over 8d. Options market is pricing a discrete catalyst; technical breakout signals are unreliable until it resolves.
| Implied volatility | 119% near (8d) · 63% far (85d) — Term structure inverted — the market is pricing an event in the near window |
|---|---|
| Term structure | 1.89× near/far |
| Historical volatility | 59% |
| Implied vs historical | 2.02× — Options are priced well above what the stock has actually done |
| Implied move | ±14.0% by 2026-09-04 — Large relative to this stock's normal daily range |
| Implied move vs ATR | 1.05× |
| Skew | Flat (0.97×) |
| Call wall | 270.00 (+44.6% away) |
| Put wall | 130.00 (-30.4% away) |
| Gamma pin | 130.00 |
- Term structure inverted (near 119% IV vs far 63% IV, ratio 1.89)
- Implied move 14.0% is 1.05x the ATR-expected 13.4% over 8d
Takeaway Insuring against a move in this stock costs more for the next few weeks than for the next few months. Traders usually pay up like that when they know something is coming soon — results, a court ruling, a regulatory decision. Options traders are positioned for a move of around 14.0% in either direction by 2026-09-04. The overall shape suggests they expect a one-off result that lands either well or badly, rather than a gradual drift.
Chain as at 2026-08-27. This is a risk read on whether a specific event is being priced — not a directional view.

Detailed Scoring

- Piotroski F-score 5/9 (+5.0)
- Altman Z-score 3.00 (+3.0)
- High earnings quality (accrual ratio 0.000) (+1.0)
- Relative Strength 10.7% vs sector: OUTPERFORMING (+9.5)
- Track 2: relative strength trend improving (+9.5)
- Track 2: bullish DI spread 2.1 (+2.9)
- Track 2: ADX 44.6 and flat (+14.3)
- Track 2: EMA20 slope expanding 1.0% (+1.6)
- Track 2: VPT strength 0.00 (+0.1)
- Track 2: price above EMA50 by 6.3% (+2.9)
- Track 2: EMA50 slope improving 6.1% (+3.5)
- Track 2: Bollinger position 0.46 (+3.5)
Negative signals
- Track 2: weak MACD histogram (-1.85)
- Track 2: weak MACD line/signal structure (-7.0)
- Track 2: MACD slope deteriorating (-2.3)
- Track 2: weak volume for momentum setup (0.97x average)
- Weak relative momentum rank (0.03)
- Track 2: price below EMA20 by 0.5%
- Track 2: MACD histogram deteriorating (-3.64)
- Track 2: RSI deterioration/overheating 55.7, 5-day change -28.3
- 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.
