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 →
Pharmaceuticals 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 ValuationModerate volatility — typically moves about 1% a day.
View RiskPTC Therapeutics must continue to grow its revenue to justify its current valuation. The company reported strong Q2 2026 earnings, beating estimates with revenue growth of 102% year over year. It trades at 6.3× price-to-sales, above the peer median of 2.9×, indicating that expectations look modest versus our view. If PTCT cuts guidance on the next call, that could negatively impact its stock price. Peer multiples imply a price about 20% above where it trades. This read is provisional.
