CompanyGraph
Use to find companies where this pattern is active.
Three observations co-occur: price is several standard deviations below its one-year mean, the company has reported positive net income every year for three years, and book value has increased every year for four years. The set describes a depressed-price profile alongside fundamental stability and equity accumulation.
State
Price stretched below 1y mean alongside three-year profitability and four-year book-value growth
Emergence
Price is stretched below its one-year mean (in standard-deviation terms) while the company has reported positive net income every year for three years and book value has increased every year for four years. The price position and the fundamental profile co-occur; the interpretation does not claim equity growth establishes a floor or predict that price will stop declining.
Limits
Nothing in this configuration predicts that price will hold or recover. The Z-score is a positional reading; equity growth measures only that book value rose each year, not that book value supports the current market price. Prices can fall through any 'fundamental floor' framing — book value has no mechanical link to price level. The configuration is consistent with continued decline, sideways action, or recovery.

Explanation
Each observation is an independent reading: Price Stretched Below Mean (Z-Score, 1Y) measures how far the current price sits below its one-year mean in standard-deviation terms. The reading is positional only. Net Income Positive Every Year (3Y) confirms positive bottom-line in each of the last three fiscal years. It does not measure profit growth or magnitude. Book Value Increased Every Year (4Y, configured balance-sheet field = total shareholders' equity) confirms shareholders' equity rose in each of the last four fiscal years. It does not establish that book value supports current price; price can trade at any multiple of book and the relationship can change. The three together describe a configuration: price below its recent mean while net income and equity have been increasing. They do not predict reversal or guarantee that the price-book gap will narrow.
Interpretation
This interpretation identifies a structural relationship, not a buying observation. It does not predict recovery timing, guarantee the floor will hold, or claim the stock is undervalued. Fundamental floors can break under structural business changes.
Required Observations
Net Income Positive Every Year (N-Year Window)
Net income was positive in each of the last 3 fiscal years.
