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 →
Energy 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.
Management is running behind on a stated commitment.

View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 47% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskCVI’s recovery hinges on stronger refining earnings, though recent revenue growth accelerated during an unprofitable year. Revenue growth rose from 20% to 55% year over year, and Q2 FY2026 earnings beat consensus. CVI trades at 0.7× sales versus 1.6× for peers and 0.4× its own history. The price reflects less growth than our forecast. Management running behind on a stated commitment threatens the recovery. Our model puts the next-quarter miss probability near 29%. Peer multiples imply a price roughly in line with where it trades (about fair). The thesis is on watch, and this read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-10-29. CVI is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
