CompanyGraph
Use to find companies where this pattern is active.
Three observations describe the present configuration: the most recent close is within 5% of the all-time low in the available price record, the company has reported positive net income in each of the last three annual periods, and the industry-benchmarked equity ratio is in the upper range against peers.
State
Close within 5% of the all-time low, with three-year profitability and an industry-benchmarked equity ratio elevated
Emergence
Three observations co-occur: the most recent close is within 5% of the all-time low in the price record, net income has been positive in each of the last three annual reporting periods, and the industry-benchmarked equity ratio is in its upper range. The configuration records position relative to a historical low alongside two annual fundamental readings.
Limits
This interpretation records a co-occurring configuration, not a buying call or recovery prediction. The proximity reading is to the all-time low in the available history — companies with short price records can fire on a low established within that short window. The 'all-years-positive-income-3y' observation counts how many of the last three annual periods had positive net income; magnitude and trajectory are not constrained, so flat low-margin earnings can satisfy this reading. The equity-ratio reading is positioned against industry peers — an industry whose peers all carry similar low leverage will tend to scatter scores within that band. The price being near a historical low can persist for extended periods.

Explanation
Each observation is an independent reading: Close Near All-Time Extreme (Direction-Specific, Low Instance) measures proximity of the current close to the all-time low in the available price history, with a 5% threshold band. A firing score (>= 70) means the current close is well within the lower portion of that band. The all-time low is the lowest value in the record available to the system; a company with only a few years of history can fire on a low established within that short window. Net Income Positive Every Year (3Y) confirms net income was positive in each of the last three fiscal years. Magnitude and trajectory are not constrained by this reading. Equity Ratio (Industry-Benchmarked) measures equity / total assets, positioned against industry peers. A firing score (>= 70) means the equity share of the asset base is in the upper portion of the peer range. When all three align, the configuration places the price near a historical low alongside two annual fundamental readings. The observations do not predict recovery, claim the price is mispriced, or assess whether the company will return to favor.
Interpretation
This interpretation records a co-occurring configuration, not a buying call.
