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 →
Life Sciences Tools & Services: structurally weak cohort (structural / late-cycle), so the cyclical early-warning is suppressed.
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 ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 43% growth a year, above the roughly 25% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 3% on a typical day and fell roughly 26% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskTwist Bioscience's growth in revenue must continue to justify its current valuation. Revenue guidance was raised to $456-$457 million, indicating strong demand in AI and pharma. The stock trades at 19.5× price-to-sales, significantly above the peer median of 5.7×. This suggests the market expects more growth than is currently forecasted. If TWST cuts guidance on the next call, it could lead to a significant decline. Peer multiples imply a price about 40% below where it trades (it looks expensive on this basis). Our read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-09-15. TWST is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
