Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Health Care Equipment: fringe margins under pressure (3q confirmed)
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
The reason to own it still holds.
View ThesisRevenue growth is accelerating — up about 28% over the past year.
View GrowthMiddle-of-the-pack management execution.
View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 236% growth a year, above the roughly 23% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 4% on a typical day and fell roughly 41% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskBFLY's growth depends on expanding its Butterfly Embedded partnerships and software pipeline. Revenue grew 39% year over year, and the last quarter beat expectations. It trades at 17× price-to-sales versus a peer median of 3×. The market is pricing in more growth than we forecast, indicating expectations look full. A specific risk is a potential credibility hit if BFLY cuts guidance after recently raising it. Peer multiples imply a price about 236% below where it trades (it looks expensive on this basis). This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-09-04. BFLY is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
