How have this name's flags scored?
| Flag | N | Mean excess vs S&P |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy dilution (~11%/yr) — top-decile share issuers have historically underperformed. | sample still too small to report (need ≥ 8) | |
| Parabolic one-day spike (+15%) in the last month — extreme single-day moves tend to mean-revert. | 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.

AI take — daily, AI-generated
AI leans mixed
Strong 43.1% growth but PEG of 1.4 suggests fair-to-rich valuation, and rising dilution is a red flag that erodes shareholder value despite intact growth model.
