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 →
Application Software 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 — Adjusted EBITDA margin improves despite revenue pressure: EBITDA margin -9.7% (Q1) vs -0.8% (prior year); Op margin -13.1% to -2.1%.
View ThesisRevenue is contracting — down about 7% over the past year.
View GrowthMiddle-of-the-pack management execution.
View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 44% growth a year, above the roughly 9% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationThis stock is highly volatile — it swings about 3% on a typical day and fell roughly 45% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskIBTA's growth depends on its new partnership with 7-Eleven. Revenue growth has returned, supporting this claim. It trades at 46× P/E, above the 27× peer median. The market expects more growth than we forecast. If IBTA cuts guidance, it could hurt the stock. Peer multiples imply a price about 40% below where it trades. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-09-15. IBTA is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
