The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans constructive8 supporting, 2 against, 0 worth knowing

Supporting

  • trading 104% above its 200-day average
  • sitting at 94% of its 52-week range, with little overhead supply from trapped buyers
  • up 365% over twelve months
  • matches hammer — long tail below, which has beaten the market by +0.44 points over 20 sessions across 10,615 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 57% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
  • net margin has widened from -1.0% to 10.3% across four quarters

Against

  • 1 of the scans it matches has historically underperformed the market
  • priced at 141× earnings against an industry median of 48× — 196% above its peers

Worth knowing

  • nothing the data supports either way
What would change this read: a close below 307, 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.

how long customers take to pay
Return on capital uses profit before tax over equity plus borrowings. The textbook version adds finance costs back; those are not tagged reliably in quarterly filings, so this understates the ratio for a heavily borrowed company rather than flattering it. Balance sheets are filed half-yearly, so these can be up to six months behind the profit figures above.

Valuation against its own history

500 sessions since 2024-08-19
41×
median 66×
313×
now 141×
STLTECH trades at 141× trailing earnings, above its median of 66× over this window — 114% 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.
