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 Discretionary 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 — Achieve AEBITDA growth of 5.4% to 19.9% in 2026: Comparison needs review.
View ThesisRevenue is growing steadily — about 8% over the past year.
View GrowthManagement screens weak on capital allocation, earnings delivery, the balance sheet.
View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 34% growth a year, above the roughly 11% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationThis stock is highly volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 56% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskPACK’s claim rests on Automation growth reaching nearly $60 million in 2026, despite slowing revenue growth and weak performance. Revenue growth fell from 14% year over year in Q2 to 2.3% in Q3; Q3 GAAP EPS was negative. PACK trades at 0.7× sales versus the 0.8× peer median, though its own historical multiple was 1.1×; expectations look full against our growth forecast. The specific pillar is the 2026 AEBITDA growth target, but its comparison needs review, not confirmation of a miss. Peer multiples imply a price about 34% below where it trades; the thesis is on watch. This read is provisional.

A consensus fair price across 2 valuation methods, at three horizons. As of 2026-10-29. Estimates are diagnostics, not price targets. Short-horizon estimates are close to coin-flips, so confidence is a method-agreement read, not a prediction.
Today's peer multiple on trailing earnings, with no growth credited. This is the headline read.
