How have Weak-graded names performed?
The forward returns of all Weak-graded names since each grade was recorded — the bucket this name currently sits in, not a forecast of this individual stock.
| Window | Forward record vs the S&P | Median |
|---|---|---|
| ~1 month | 60% of Weak-graded names beat the S&P over 21 sessions (95% CI 39–78%, N=20). | Median excess vs the S&P was +0.6%. |
| ~3 months | building — 13 more sessions needed | |
| ~6 months | building — 76 more sessions needed | |
How have this name's flags scored?
| Flag | N | Mean excess vs S&P |
|---|---|---|
| Burning cash — operating margin is negative. | 35 | +7.4% |
| Heavy share dilution (>5%/yr) — your slice shrinks. | sample still too small to report (need ≥ 8) | |
| Distress signs — negative retained earnings, negative operating cash flow, and liabilities above assets. | sample still too small to report (need ≥ 8) | |
These per-flag figures are observational — a flag firing is not a randomized assignment, so any edge can reflect what kind of names trip a flag, not the flag itself. Descriptive, not causal.
Scope: these are forward returns vs the S&P among names still covered at each horizon's end, within the curated universe — not a survivorship-clean whole-market backtest. Names later dropped from coverage are counted as attrition (not hidden), and single-session moves beyond ±300% are treated as split/data artifacts and excluded.

From the headlines
ChargePoint deploys rapid EV charging at Portland International Airport.
AI take — daily, AI-generated
AI leans cautious
ChargePoint has decent margins but anemic growth and weak asset efficiency, while rising dilution erodes shareholder value; the Portland airport news is nice but doesn't change the weak underlying economics.
