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 →
Consumer Discretionary 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 — Cash from operating activities near $11.9 million: OCF $11.9M vs $11.8M target.
View ThesisRevenue is growing steadily — about 4% over the past year.
View GrowthManagement screens strong on capital allocation, margins.
View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 47% growth a year, above the roughly 7% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 37% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskWINA's growth depends on maintaining steady cash flow and operational performance. Recent cash from operating activities was near $11.9 million, slightly above the $11.8 million target. The stock trades at 29× P/E, above the 11× peer median, indicating the market expects more growth than forecasted. This premium reflects a durable franchise, but expectations look full. A specific risk is the 43% probability of a miss in the next quarter. Peer multiples imply a price about 47% below where it trades (it looks expensive on this basis). This read is provisional.
