CompanyGraph
Use to find companies where this pattern is active.
Three observations describe the present configuration: a high share of the trailing three years' weekly closes were higher than the prior week, the company has reported positive net income in each of the last five annual periods, and the book-value-increase-consistency composite over the trailing 5 years is elevated.
State
High share of up-close weeks over three years, five-year profitability, and five-year book-value increase consistency
Emergence
Three observations co-occur: a high share of the week-over-week transitions in the trailing three years closed higher than the prior week, net income has been positive in each of the last five annual reporting periods, and the book-value-increase-consistency composite over the trailing 5 years is elevated. The configuration records the present state of one price-side count and two annual fundamental composites.
Limits
This interpretation records a present-state combination, not a long-term continuation call. The 'trend-consistency-up-3y' observation counts the share of up-close weeks and does not measure the size of the moves — a high share is compatible with a negative return over the window, because a few large down weeks can outweigh many small up weeks. It also does not assess fundamental sources of the price path. The 'increase-consistency-balance-5y' observation counts how many of the most recent five annual transitions were equity-book-value increases; the instance reads `total shareholders' equity` (per params), not retained earnings, so buybacks reduce book value and can suppress this score even when retained earnings rise. Five-year profitability says nothing about magnitude trajectory. Multi-year trends end frequently, and a steady backward-looking record is no guarantee of forward direction.

Explanation
Each observation is an independent reading: Up-Close-Week Share (3Y) counts the fraction of week-over-week transitions in the trailing 3-year window where the close rose from the prior week. It does not measure the size of those moves, so a high share is compatible with a negative return over the window — a few large down weeks can outweigh many small up weeks. It is a count of direction, not a measure of distance travelled. Net Income Positive Every Year (5Y) confirms net income was positive in each of the last five fiscal years. Magnitude and trajectory are not constrained by this reading. Book-Value Increase Consistency (5Y) counts how many of the most recent five annual transitions in `total shareholders' equity` were increases. The reading is sensitive to buybacks and dividend distributions reducing equity, even when retained earnings rise. When all three align, the configuration places a price-side trend reading alongside two annual fundamental readings. The observations do not predict trend duration, claim the trend is 'genuinely backed', or assess whether the price has overshot fundamentals.
Interpretation
This interpretation records a present-state combination of one price-side composite and two annual fundamental composites, not a continuation call.
