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 →
Application Software is in steady. 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 broken — Stabilize or improve EPS above $10 in FY27: EPS -24.5 vs 10.0.
View ThesisManagement screens weak on capital allocation, earnings delivery, margins.
View ManagementExpectations look reasonable — what the market is pricing in sits in line with or below what analysts forecast.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 4% on a typical day and fell roughly 77% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskMSTR's growth depends on stabilizing or improving EPS above $10 in FY27. The latest earnings report showed an EPS of -24.5, missing expectations significantly. Revenue grew 6.9% year over year, but the last quarter missed consensus estimates. MSTR trades at 102.8× P/S, compared to a peer median of 3.8×. This suggests the price reflects less growth than forecasted, with expectations looking modest versus our view. The primary risk is the company's ability to stabilize or improve earnings, as the current trajectory is concerning. Peer multiples imply a price about 23% above where it trades. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-09-04. MSTR is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
