Survival & solvency
and 0 of 5 forensic checks clear.
Business quality
66% net margin, 12% return on equity, +17% revenue growth.
Price & timing
Price $17.66, 8.4× forward earnings, RSI 46, and dealers short gamma.
Follow the solid line: each point is a session close. Compare it to the 50-day average — while price stays above it the short-term trend is up, and a drop below is the first structural warning.
The dashed levels are the strikes the options chain is most committed to. They are the same numbers the gamma block states; nothing here is drawn that no section derives.
Historically, names tripping 0 validated red flags finished lower 12 months later in 46% of cases (n=21,704) — a survivor-biased floor, not a forecast.
Dealers hedge in the same direction as the move, so swings get bigger both ways rather than one. That argues for a smaller position size, not for a direction.
Ownership & flow
Institutions hold 27%, short interest is 6.97% of float, and 4 analysts average $18.
Independent factors scored and netted to +5 over 30d, a leaning reading. 4 of 9 factors carried a direction; the others scored zero and do not vote. The signal describes where the data leans, not what to do about it.
Descriptive only — a decorrelated read of where the evidence agrees and conflicts, not a forecast and not advice. Patterns are condition lists, not outcome predictions, and are not yet validated to the proof bar. Dispersion of 0.00 means the disagreement is real but not a split decision.
Risk & track record
Beta 0.70, 16% annual volatility, a -15% worst drawdown, and 2 of 8 risk surfaces clear.
8 surfaces checked, 2 clear. The binding constraint is position size — the tail cap is the one that binds. Each row states which surface it is and what it measured; a surface that could not be scored says so rather than counting as clear.
The wider context
5 mapped peers, 3 connections.
That is the definition of a stock that has already worked, and it says nothing about the next window. What it does tell you is what a drawdown would be measured against.
Bankruptcy-risk score. Above 3.0 is the safe band.
Nine pass/fail health tests; 7 or more is strong.
Accrual and growth pattern screen. Clear below −2.22, watch to −1.78, elevated above; a year of very fast revenue growth lifts it by construction.
Standard deviations of asset value between the company and its debt.
Default frequency calibrated on what actually happened to similar names.
Momentum gauge 0–100. Above 70 is overbought, below 30 oversold.
Average true range — the size of a typical day.
20-day volume-weighted average price — the average paid over the last month; the page shows no intraday VWAP.
A trend-following stop line. A close through it flips the read.
A trailing stop set a few average ranges below the recent high.
Dealer hedging pressure. Negative gamma amplifies moves both ways.
The strikes with the heaviest open interest; they act as ceiling and floor.
The strike where most options expire worthless.
Institutional filings, 45 days after quarter end. Insider trades, within two days.
Independent factors scored and netted into one number.
Share of past calls that resolved in the direction stated.
Calibration measure. Lower means stated probabilities track reality.
Concentration 0–10,000. Above 2,500 means one segment carries the company.
Fits the tail rather than assuming a bell curve, so bad days are not understated.
