Mid-channel, falling this year inside a rising 0.7376877103944698-year channel
Price is between the two trend lines. Nothing to act on yet.
The next few months are read from the last 12 months, not the last 9 months: that channel fits this stock's recent turns at least as well (71% against 76%) and it is the one price is respecting now. The last 9 months stay as context: rising, +3% a year. A stock can be falling inside a channel that still rises over years; that is what this is, and only one of the two can be the near-term expectation. The target of US$164.78 sits above the nearest ceiling (US$150.97, from the last 9 months), so reaching it means breaking a line this stock has repeatedly turned at. What would overturn this: a close below US$113.82 — the floor of the channel being read — after which the trend, not the entry, is what was wrong.

- Whose problem it was
- This companyno peer group to compare against
- Does it resolve?
- Temporary falls like it have resolved on the record
- Regained so far
- 62%of what it lost
- What the record says
- 83% of 1151 comparable falls came back, typically in 75 days measured across every stock we hold history for, its peer group being too small
The trend broke in October 2025: price fell 34% from 162.66 to 106.65 by May 2026, and has regained 62% of that fall since. Its peers did not fall with it, so this was about the company rather than its sector. The wire that week: “Price Over Earnings Overview: Jacobs Solutions”. Falls like it have resolved: falls of about 34% here have come back to the old high 83% of the time (1151 comparable falls), typically in 75 days. On that record the fall is treated as temporary, and the trend lines are fitted to the regime it created rather than through it. Priced from that: 164.78 within 92 days, reached 83% of the time in 1151 comparable falls — about 0.18% a day held.
The buy and sell prices below are priced off this recovery rather than off the channel: it is the better expected return per day held once each is charged for the odds of working.

The trend broke in October 2025: price fell 34% from 162.66 to 106.65 by May 2026, and has regained 62% of that fall since.

Priced from that: 164.78 within 92 days, reached 83% of the time in 1151 comparable falls — about 0.18% a day held. The entry is today's price, not a dip level: the fall is behind it and the evidence measured is what these recoveries paid from here, so waiting for a lower entry would be waiting for something the record does not say is coming. Of 1151 comparable falls across every stock we hold history for, 83% were back at the old high within 75 days of the low, and the ones that got there gave up about 11% along the way — so expect to be underwater before it works. The target is the median level they regained, which is short of the old high of 162.66 because not all of them saw it again. It is a prediction and it is revised the same way any other is: if price loses its 50-day trend and stays below it, the recovery is treated as failed rather than delayed.
