The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans constructive8 supporting, 1 against, 1 worth knowing

Supporting

  • trading 49% above its 200-day average
  • sitting at 94% of its 52-week range, with little overhead supply from trapped buyers
  • up 72% over twelve months
  • matches stretched far above trend, which has beaten the market by +0.82 points over 20 sessions across 27,715 past signals
  • 2 of the scans it matches have a positive measured record
  • 4 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • revenue grew 119% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
  • net margin has widened from 11.9% to 13.0% across four quarters

Against

  • priced at 100× earnings against an industry median of 52× — 92% above its peers

Worth knowing

  • RSI at 81 is stretched; strong stocks stay stretched for a long time, so this is a note on entry timing, not on direction
What would change this read: a close below 998, its 200-day average; a failure to hold the top of its 52-week range.
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

Valuation against its own history

271 sessions since 2025-08-01
71×
median 99×
118×
now 100×
KRN trades at 100× trailing earnings, close to its median of 99× 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.
