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 →
Investment Banking & Brokerage 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.
Primary pillar broken — Net income improves toward break-even by end 2026: EPS -0.24 vs 0.00 target.
View ThesisRevenue is growing steadily — about 25% over the past year.
View GrowthRanks in the weakest quality tier of its industry — roughly the bottom 11%, softest on free-cash-flow margins.
View QualityManagement screens weak on capital allocation, earnings delivery, the balance sheet, 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 volatile — it swings about 3% on a typical day and fell roughly 49% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskRiot Platforms must successfully develop and expand large-scale data centers to justify its price. Revenue grew 14% year over year, but the latest earnings report showed a loss of -0.24. The stock trades at 11× price-to-sales versus a peer median of 2×. This suggests the price reflects less growth than forecasted. A specific risk is the 56% probability of missing guidance on the next call. Peer multiples imply a price roughly in line with where it trades. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-09-04. RIOT is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
