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 — EPS improves to positive 0.51 next fiscal year: FY27 EPS 0.48 vs 0.51 target; Current FY EPS -0.65 vs -0.35 30d ago.
View ThesisRevenue is contracting — down about 20% over the past year.
View GrowthManagement screens weak on capital allocation, earnings delivery, market reaction to earnings.
View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 96% growth a year, above the roughly 9% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationModerate volatility — typically moves about 1% a day.
View RiskLMNR's growth depends on expanding avocado production and increasing volume guidance. Revenue fell 7% year over year, and the latest earnings miss raises concerns about growth sustainability. It trades at 1.8× price-to-sales, above the 0.9× peer median, indicating the market prices in more growth than expected. The risk lies in the elevated miss probability of 74%. Peer multiples imply a price about 93% below where it trades. Our read remains intact; the reason to own it still holds.
