The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence is mixed5 supporting, 4 against, 0 worth knowing

Supporting

  • trading 1% above its 200-day average
  • matches closed at the very top of its range, which has beaten the market by +0.43 points over 20 sessions across 5,630 past signals
  • 4 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • revenue grew 131% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
  • net margin has widened from 18.8% to 20.8% across four quarters

Against

  • down 8% over twelve months
  • 2 of the scans it matches have historically underperformed the market
  • priced at 96× earnings against an industry median of 52× — 84% above its peers
  • holders are unwinding longs quietly

Worth knowing

  • nothing the data supports either way
BDL sits in Defence — worth checking whether the whole group is moving together or whether this name is doing it alone.
What would change this read: a close below 1,349, its 200-day average.
Assembled automatically from the figures on this page — the scans matched, their measured record, the filed financials, the derivatives positioning and the peer comparison. It is not a recommendation, no one has spoken to the company, and every claim above can be checked against a number further down this page.

What the scans say today

11 of 47 matched on 2026-08-21
BDL matches 11 of the 47 scans today, across 4 different kinds of evidence. Three or more independent families agreeing is uncommon — it is the same test the shortlist on every page uses.

Valuation against its own history

500 sessions since 2024-09-06
68×
median 93×
140×
now 96×
BDL trades at 96× trailing earnings, close to its median of 93× over this window. The band runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile, so single-day spikes do not set the edges.
This window is short by the standards of valuation history — it begins where four quarters of filed earnings first exist. A stock can look cheap against two years and expensive against ten.

How to read this
Open interest is contracts still open, so a rise means new positions and a fall means positions closing. Combined with price direction that gives the state on the left. The walls are the strikes carrying the most open interest near expiry — levels other people are watching, not levels the price is obliged to respect. A future below spot means sellers are paying to be short.
