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 →
Regional Banks 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 RiskFRST’s case rests on achieving robust profitability in 2026 through balance-sheet growth. Recent results temper that case: Q3 2026 non-GAAP EPS was $0.35, missing consensus. Q2 revenue grew 34.1% year over year, but Q3 revenue growth is unavailable. FRST trades at 0.8× book value versus 1.2× for peers, and 0.9× its own historical multiple. The price reflects less growth than our forecast, although the earnings miss challenges profitability progress. Our model puts the next-quarter miss probability near 40%. The 2026 EPS-growth pillar needs review because its comparison is unverified. Peer multiples imply a price about 27% above where it trades (it looks cheap on this basis); the thesis is on watch. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-10-30. FRST is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
