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 →
Trading Companies & Distributors: fringe margins under pressure (4q confirmed)
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 — Halt revenue decline and achieve growth: Revenue growth: 3.16%.
View ThesisRevenue growth is slowing — up about 2% over the past year and decelerating.
View GrowthRanks in the weakest quality tier of its industry — roughly the bottom 26%, softest on free-cash-flow margins.
View QualityManagement screens weak on earnings delivery, margins, the balance sheet.
View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 53% growth a year, above the roughly 6% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationModerate volatility — typically moves about 1% a day.
View RiskU-Haul’s self-storage expansion must reverse slowing revenue growth to support its valuation. Revenue grew 3.2% year over year, while Q1 FY2027 EPS missed consensus by 25.9%. UHAL trades at 2× sales versus a 1× peer median, near its own 2× history. The market prices in more growth than our forecast. Our model puts the next-quarter miss probability near 66%. Revenue growth at 3.16% leaves the primary growth pillar under pressure. Peer multiples imply a price about 53% below where it trades (it looks expensive on this basis); the thesis is on watch. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-10-30. UHAL is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
