Use to find companies where this pattern is active.
Three observations describe the present configuration: a high share of the trailing year's weekly closes were higher than the prior week, the company has reported positive net income in each of the last three annual periods, and the industry-benchmarked operating cash flow margin is in the upper peer range.
State
High share of up-close weeks over one year, three-year profitability, and industry-benchmarked OCF margin elevated
Emergence
Three observations co-occur: a high share of the week-over-week transitions in the trailing year closed higher than the prior week, net income has been positive in each of the last three annual reporting periods, and the industry-benchmarked operating cash flow margin is in the upper peer range. The configuration records a price-side count alongside two fundamental readings.
Limits
This interpretation records a present-state combination, not a continuation call. The 'trend-consistency-up-1y' observation counts the share of up-close weeks and does not measure the size of the moves — a majority of up weeks 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 '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. The OCF margin reading is peer-relative — scores scatter within a sector band, so a high score may not be unusual for the sector.

Explanation
Each observation is an independent reading: Up-Close-Week Share (1Y) counts the fraction of week-over-week transitions in the trailing 52 weeks 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 (3Y) confirms net income was positive in each of the last three fiscal years. Magnitude and trajectory are not constrained by this reading. Operating Cash Flow Margin (Industry-Benchmarked) is operating cash flow divided by revenue, both read from the latest fiscal year the two statements share, positioned against industry peers. When all three align, the configuration places a price-side trend reading alongside two fundamental readings. The observations do not predict trend continuation, claim the trend has 'fundamental backing', or assess whether the price has overshot fundamentals.
Interpretation
This interpretation records a present-state combination, not a continuation call.
Required Observations
