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 →
Financials 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 broken — revenue growth around 3% in next 12 months: rev -10.8% vs 3.2%.
View ThesisRevenue is contracting — down about 4% over the past year.
View GrowthManagement screens weak on capital allocation, earnings delivery, market reaction to earnings.
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 56% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskKMPR's revenue growth has to keep compounding to justify the price. Revenue declined 10.8% year over year, and the latest quarter beat expectations. KMPR trades at 0.7× P/B versus a 1.3× peer median, indicating the price reflects less growth than we forecast. If KMPR cuts guidance on the next call, that would be a meaningful negative. Peer multiples imply a price about 54% above where it trades (it looks cheap on this basis). This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-09-15. KMPR is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
