The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans negative3 supporting, 6 against, 1 worth knowing

Supporting

  • matches trading far more than usual, which has beaten the market by +0.45 points over 20 sessions across 52,251 past signals
  • 3 of the scans it matches have a positive measured record
  • 4 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon

Against

  • trading 14% below its 200-day average
  • at 7% of its 52-week range — nearly everyone who bought in the past year is underwater
  • down 29% over twelve months
  • net margin has narrowed from 8.4% to 6.9% across four quarters
  • priced at 48× earnings against an industry median of 40× — 22% above its peers
  • futures show a short buildup — new sellers are committing capital

Worth knowing

  • RSI at 21 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 back above 120, its 200-day average; open interest reversing while price keeps going.
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.

Nothing in the filings stands out either way.
Every figure here is computed from the company’s own filings. Wording of 1 of these 1 lines was drafted by a language model, which is given the figures and may not introduce another — any sentence containing a number that did not come from the filings is discarded before it reaches this page.

What the scans say today

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.

Price down, open interest up. New sellers are committing capital. The most common state in a falling tape, and the one that unwinds hardest if it turns.

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.
