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 →
Biotechnology 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 ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 24% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskZYME's growth depends on achieving significant revenue growth through its product pipeline, particularly Ziihera. Revenue fell 90.6% year over year, missing the target of 80% growth. The stock trades at 57× sales, compared to a peer median of 11×, indicating that the market expects more growth than is currently justified. If ZYME cuts guidance on the next call, our model puts the next-quarter miss near 59%. Peer multiples imply a price roughly in line with where it trades. This read is provisional.
