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 →
IT Consulting & Other Services is in recovery. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
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.
Primary pillar under pressure — Resolve Nasdaq listing suspension: Nasdaq delisting notice active (June 2026) vs resolved by 2026-Q2.
View ThesisRevenue is contracting — down about 3% over the past year.
View GrowthManagement screens weak on capital allocation, margins, the balance sheet.
View ManagementExpectations look reasonable — what the market is pricing in sits in line with or below what analysts forecast.
View ValuationThis stock is highly volatile — it swings about 3% on a typical day and fell roughly 74% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskBKYI's growth in license revenue has to keep compounding to justify the price. Revenue grew 53% in the last quarter, supporting a target to grow revenues by 50% in the first half of 2026. It trades at 0.3× P/E versus a peer median of 14×. This suggests the price reflects less growth than forecast. The primary risk is the Nasdaq delisting notice, which is still active. Peer multiples imply a price about 69% above where it trades. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-09-04. BKYI is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
