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 →
Apparel, Accessories & Luxury Goods is in contraction. 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 RiskKontoor Brands' revenue must reach $3.44 billion in 2026. The company guided for only $2.66 billion to $2.71 billion. That gap breaks the primary pillar of the investment case. The stock trades at 14 times earnings. The peer median is 16 times earnings. The price reflects less growth than our forecast. The market cycle is in a mania phase. Our model puts the next-quarter miss probability near 17%. Peer multiples imply a price roughly in line with where it trades. The thesis has broken. This read is provisional.
