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 →
Building Products is in recovery. 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 under pressure — Continue improving operating income: Q2 FY26 operating margin +4.0% vs target >-2.3% (implied by <$20M loss on ~$870M rev).
View ThesisRevenue growth is accelerating — up about 63% over the past year.
View GrowthRanks in the weakest quality tier of its industry — roughly the bottom 17%, softest on free-cash-flow yield.
View QualityManagement screens weak on earnings delivery, margins, 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 highly volatile — it swings about 3% on a typical day and fell roughly 61% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskRUN's growth depends on expanding its storage-first strategy and networked storage capacity. Revenue grew 53% year over year, and the latest quarter beat expectations. It trades at 6.0× P/E versus a 19× peer median, indicating modest expectations compared to our view. The primary risk is the pressure on operating income, with a miss probability of 18%. Peer multiples imply a price about 56% above where it trades. Our read is provisional.
