Note: Structure ambiguous: leg W can also be read as three- or five-part.

Note: Retracement at least 88.7% of A: flat possible (B in progress, type only with C).

Scenarios

Timeframe 4 hours · As of Oct 27, 2026 · from the Elliott count in the analysis chart

Weighting Main scenario: ahead (3 of 3 guidelines, strong) · Alternative: behind (2 of 3, medium)

Weighting by guidelines met – not a probability.

Main scenario

ahead strong · 3 of 3 guidelines

As long as the 4-hour close stays above the end of Y, this applies: complex countermove downward (Nested combination), Y complete – count points to rising prices.

Invalid if the 4-hour close is below the end of Y

Alternative

behind medium · 2 of 3 guidelines

If that breaks, the second reading no longer applies either: flat countermove upward in three waves (Flat, type known only after C), C in progress – then there is no valid count for now; the next candles will produce a new one.

Invalid if the 4-hour close is below the end of B

Key figures with traffic lights

Each light follows a simple, disclosed rule. The comparison is with the sector median of all 24 symbols in the Communication Services sector on our list (current members of the S&P 500 and other lists).

Revenue growth

Light green: above sector

+7.6% per year, last 5 years

Sector Communication Services: median +6.7% (22 symbols)

What does this mean? Revenue: over 5 years it grew by 7.6% per year on average – at least as fast as the median company in the sector (+6.7%).

Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.

Net income (total)

Light gray: not computable

– per year, last 5 years

Sector Communication Services: median +12.7% (12 symbols)

per share: not computable (loss in the first or last year)

What does this mean? There was a loss in the first or last year. An annual growth rate cannot be calculated meaningfully then.

Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.

Net margin

Light green: above sector

13.1% last fiscal year

Sector Communication Services: median 10.1% (24 symbols)

What does this mean? Of every 100 USD in revenue, 13.14 USD remained as profit – at least as much as the median company in the sector (10.1%). Five years ago the margin was −4.4%.

Light rule: Green: at least the sector median (without a sector comparison: profit) · Yellow: profit, but below the median · Red: loss.

Debt / equity

Light green: lower than sector

0.34 latest balance sheet

Sector Communication Services: median 0.84 (22 symbols)

What does this mean? For every 1 USD of equity there is 0.34 USD of financial debt – no more than the median company in the sector (0.84). More debt amplifies good and bad years alike.

Light rule: Green: at most the sector median · Yellow: up to twice the median · Red: more than twice · Gray: without a sector comparison.

Payout ratio

Light gray: none found

– Dividend / earnings per share

Sector Communication Services: median 24% (7 symbols)

What does this mean? The loaded SEC filings of the last two fiscal years contain no dividend per share. Either the company pays none, or it reports it under a different tag.

Light rule: Green: up to 60% of earnings · Yellow: up to 100% · Red: more than earnings or a dividend despite a loss · Gray for real estate (REITs). The sector median is for comparison only.

Profitable years

Light yellow: 1 loss year

8 of 9 fiscal years with a profit

What does this mean? In 8 of the last 9 fiscal years the bottom line showed a profit. One year ended with a loss.

Light rule: Green: profit in every year · Yellow: one loss year · Red: several loss years (at least 3 years needed).

* Q4 derived: fiscal year minus the 9-month value (EPS cannot be derived this way); may be distorted by restatements.

How we calculate: values as first reported to the SEC (later corrections are left out), a fixed order of reporting tags per figure, partial sums are never added up. Growth per year over 5 years (otherwise 3 years). Quarters are labeled by the calendar quarter in which they end.
