The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans constructive4 supporting, 2 against, 2 worth knowing

Supporting

  • trading 7% above its 200-day average
  • 4 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • revenue grew 15% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
  • priced at 37× earnings against an industry median of 44× — 16% below its peers

Against

  • down 7% over twelve months
  • net margin has narrowed from 11.6% to 9.3% across four quarters

Worth knowing

  • the 50-day and 200-day averages disagree, which usually means a turn in progress rather than a trend to lean on
  • RSI at 28 is washed out — historically the better half of this site's measured edge comes from exactly this condition
What would change this read: a close below 5,466, 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

5 of 47 matched on 2026-08-21
CERA matches 5 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
28×
median 33×
44×
now 37×
CERA trades at 37× trailing earnings, above its median of 33× over this window — 12% more expensive than usual. 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.

CERA trades at 37.3× trailing earnings against an industry median of 44.4× across 35 other classified companies in its industry — cheaper than them, by 16%. A multiple is a statement about expectations, not about quality: cheap usually means the market expects less, and it is often right.
