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.
Primary pillar under pressure — Revenue stays near $297 million in fiscal 2026 Q4: Revenue: $330.66M.
View ThesisManagement screens strong on capital allocation, margins.
View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 32% growth a year, above the roughly 4% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationModerate volatility — typically moves about 1% a day.
View RiskFIZZ’s case rests on steady financial performance, despite its latest fiscal revenue evidence showing pressure. Fiscal 2026 earnings beat, but the desk provides no revenue-growth figure. FIZZ trades at 19× P/E versus a 16× peer median. The market is pricing more growth than our forecast supports. Weak volumes threaten the balance between product pricing and margins. Our model puts the next-quarter miss probability near 28%. Peer multiples imply a price about 32% below where it trades. The thesis is on watch; this read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-10-29. FIZZ is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).

A consensus fair price across 10 valuation methods, at three horizons. As of 2026-10-29. Estimates are diagnostics, not price targets. Short-horizon estimates are close to coin-flips, so confidence is a method-agreement read, not a prediction.

Top 10% on quality vs scored peers
A second lens on the 12-month fair value: for companies that score high on measured quality (profitability, balance-sheet safety, earnings stability), this read trusts more of today's profit margins instead of averaging them toward their multi-year history the way the headline number does. Shown alongside the fair value above, not in place of it. A diagnostic, not a price target or a buy/sell signal.
