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 →
Utilities 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.
The reason to own it still holds.
View ThesisRevenue growth is accelerating — up about 31% over the past year.
View GrowthRanks in the weakest quality tier of its industry — roughly the bottom 37%, softest on returns on capital.
View QualityManagement screens strong on 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 40% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskORA’s case rests on robust cash-backed profits and durable geothermal growth. Revenue growth slowed from 75.8% to 10.6% year over year, despite the latest earnings beat. ORA trades at 32× P/E versus a 23× peer median, reflecting expectations that look modest versus our view. Its own historical multiple is 38×. A 19% next-quarter miss probability and community division around an EGS project threaten execution. The peer premium has to be earned. Peer multiples imply a price about 4% below where it trades. Our read remains intact; this read is provisional.
