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 →

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 48% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskCC's growth depends on achieving free cash flow of at least $100 million in 2026. Recent guidance shows free cash flow is expected at $50 million, well below the target. Revenue has been weak, with a recent earnings miss of 2.3%. The stock trades at 20× P/E, slightly above the 17× peer median, indicating modest growth expectations. The primary risk is the failure to meet cash flow targets, which could further weaken investor confidence. Peer multiples imply a price about 24% above where it trades, suggesting it looks cheap on this basis. The thesis has broken due to the failure to achieve the cash flow target.
