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 →
Biotechnology 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 — Manage operating expenses and cash burn: TTM operating cash flow -$45.2M vs target burn no worse than -$21.3M.
View ThesisThis stock is volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 52% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskTARA's growth depends on managing operating expenses and cash burn effectively. The company reported a miss in Q2 FY2026 with an EPS of -0.36, which was 9.1% below consensus. TARA trades at a valuation that lacks clear peer comparison, as there is no valuation-bridge row for this name. The primary risk is the operating cash flow, which was -$45.2M against a target burn of no worse than -$21.3M. Peer multiples imply a price about 41% below where it trades. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-09-14. TARA is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
