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 →
Systems Software is in expansion. 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.

View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 39% growth a year, above the roughly 27% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 3% on a typical day and fell roughly 46% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskIOT's growth depends on sustaining strong revenue and ARR growth. Revenue guidance for FY 2027 is $2.043B-$2.047B, targeting a 21% non-GAAP operating margin. Revenue grew 30% year over year, and the last quarter beat expectations. It trades at 13.7× P/S, above the 4.7× peer median, indicating the market prices in more growth than forecast. The primary risk is a potential guidance cut, with a 29% miss probability for the next quarter. Peer multiples imply a price about 39% below where it trades. This read is provisional.

A consensus fair price across 9 valuation methods, at three horizons. As of 2026-09-04. Estimates are diagnostics, not price targets. Short-horizon estimates are close to coin-flips, so confidence is a method-agreement read, not a prediction.
