Share of earnings coming from accruals rather than cash. Higher values historically precede weaker future returns.
Hidden Markov model fitted to two years of returns, separating bull, bear and sideways states by their own drift and volatility.
GARCH(1,1) 30-day annualised forecast, above the current 47.5% reading.
Fama-French 5-factor market beta. The five factors explain 10% of this stock's return variance; the rest is idiosyncratic.
