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 →
Property & Casualty Insurance 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.

View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 56% growth a year, above the roughly 26% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 60% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskPorch's Reciprocal scaling has to keep compounding to justify the price. Revenue grew 12% year over year in the last quarter. The company beat estimates and shares jumped 21%. It trades at 92x price-to-book versus a 2x peer median. The market is pricing in more growth than we forecast. The primary pillar is under pressure on gross profit targets. Peer multiples imply a price about 56% below where it trades. Our read remains intact, but this read is provisional.
