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 Staples 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 ManagementExpectations look reasonable — what the market is pricing in sits in line with or below what analysts forecast.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 58% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskCOTY's growth depends on improving operating income and profitability. Recent results show weak performance compared to peers. Revenue grew 1% year over year, and the last quarter was inline. COTY trades at 13× P/E, below the peer median of 16×. This suggests the price reflects modest growth expectations. A specific risk is the 48% chance of missing next-quarter estimates. Peer multiples imply a price about 34% above where it trades. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-09-14. COTY is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
