Every figure here is computed — from the company’s own filings, or from its own closing prices.

What the scans say today
2 of 47 matched on 10 Sep
PFC matches 2 of the 47 scans today, across 2 different kinds of evidence.
PFC trades at 3× trailing earnings, below its median of 4× over this window — 18% 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.
AGM / EGM filings were typically +0.17pt vs the market over the next 5 sessions (n=8,423) · Other filing filings were typically +0.01pt vs the market over the next 5 sessions (n=17,202)

How to read this
Open interest is contracts still open, so a rise means new positions and a fall means positions closing. Combined with price direction that gives the state on the left. The walls are the strikes carrying the most open interest near expiry — levels other people are watching, not levels the price is obliged to respect. A future below spot means sellers are paying to be short.
