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 →
Pharmaceuticals is in steady. 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 RiskAQST's growth depends on the successful resubmission of the Anaphylm NDA in Q3 2026. Revenue growth has been steady, but the company remains unprofitable. It trades at 9.1 times sales, which is significantly higher than the 2.6 times peer median. The price reflects modest growth expectations compared to our view. The primary risk is the potential for a guidance cut, with a 38% chance of missing estimates. Peer multiples imply a price about 28% below where it trades; this read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-07-31. AQST is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
