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 →
Information Technology 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.
Management is running behind on a stated commitment.
View ThesisThis stock is highly volatile — it swings about 5% on a typical day and fell roughly 94% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskCAST’s software push targets scale, though no judged catalyst confirms it as the growth engine. The desk records no earnings release or earnings history, so revenue growth and the latest result remain unknown. CAST trades at 92× sales versus the 4× peer median, while its own historical multiple was 108×. The price is roughly in line with the growth we forecast, despite this large peer valuation gap. Our model puts the next-quarter miss probability near 71%. Management is running behind on a stated commitment, the specific thesis risk. Peer multiples imply a price about 508% below where it trades. The thesis is on watch, and this read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-10-21. CAST is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
