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 →
Health Care Equipment: fringe margins under pressure (3q confirmed)
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 — Gross margin improves to about 51% in FY26: FY26 GM guidance 49.0% vs ~51% target; Q2 actual 38.5% vs 45% trip.
View ThesisRevenue growth is accelerating — up about 22% over the past year.
View GrowthManagement screens weak on earnings delivery, margins, market reaction to earnings.
View ManagementExpectations look reasonable — what the market is pricing in sits in line with or below what analysts forecast.
View ValuationThis stock is highly volatile — it swings about 3% on a typical day and fell roughly 70% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskQTRX's growth trajectory hinges on improving commercial effectiveness and operating results. Revenue grew 34% year over year, but recent performance remains weak. It trades at 0.8× price-to-sales versus a peer median of 2.9×. This suggests the price reflects less growth than expected. The primary risk is the broken gross margin, which fell short of guidance. Peer multiples imply a price about 82% above where it trades. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-09-04. QTRX is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
