The read

written from the numbers on this page
More of the measured facts point up than down6 supporting, 1 against, 1 worth knowing

Supporting

  • trading 24% above its 200-day average
  • up 14% over twelve months
  • matches beating the market for 6 months, which has beaten the market by +0.50 points over 20 sessions across 60,366 past signals
  • 2 of the scans it matches have a positive measured record
  • 3 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • net margin has widened from 20.2% to 125.2% across four quarters

Against

  • revenue fell 8% year on year in the quarter ending 30 June 2026

Worth knowing

  • the 50-day and 200-day averages disagree, which usually means a turn in progress rather than a trend to lean on
The market itself is rangebound tonight. Each scan's record is measured separately for this regime; the figure beside each chip above is the one that applies, not the all-weather number.
What would change these counts: the close crossing its 200-day average, which is 1,824 tonight and moves every session.
Assembled automatically from the figures on this page — the scans matched, their measured record, the filed financials, the derivatives positioning and the peer comparison. It is not a recommendation, no one has spoken to the company, and every claim above can be checked against a number further down this page.

Every figure here is computed — from the company’s own filings, or from its own closing prices. Wording of 3 of these 4 filing lines was drafted by a language model, which is given the figures and may not introduce another — any sentence containing a number that did not come from the filings is discarded before it reaches this page.

What the scans say today

5 of 57 matched on 11 Sep
HESTERBIO matches 5 of the 57 scans today, across 3 different kinds of evidence (not counting 2 that match most of the market tonight). Three or more independent families agreeing is uncommon — it is the same test the shortlist on every page uses. It is in none of the 19 published portfolios on the arena tonight.

Valuation against its own history

500 sessions since 27 September 2024
15×
median 37×
86×
now 14×
HESTERBIO trades at 14× trailing earnings, below its median of 37× over this window — 62% less expensive than usual. The band runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile, so single-day spikes do not set the edges.
This window is short by the standards of valuation history — it begins where four quarters of filed earnings first exist. A stock can look cheap against two years and expensive against ten.

A low multiple is a statement about expectations, not about quality: the market usually expects less from a cheap company, and is often right. These are rankings, not fair values.
