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 Staples 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 — Operating income stays near $35.7M in 2026-Q1: Comparison needs review.
View ThesisMiddle-of-the-pack management execution.
View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 18% growth a year, above the roughly 4% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationModerate volatility — typically moves about 1% a day.
View RiskWMK’s appeal rests on cash-backed earnings and strong recent performance, despite only 4.6% revenue growth. Its latest listed quarter, Q2 FY2026, reported GAAP EPS of 0.92; no release is recorded. WMK trades at 19× P/E versus a 16× peer median, with its historical multiple also 19×. The market is pricing in more growth than our forecast, so expectations look full. Operating income near $35.7M in 2026-Q1 is flagged for review, not confirmed as a break. The surprise model puts next-quarter miss probability at 17%. Peer multiples imply a price about 18% 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. WMK is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
