Oct 12 close

$25.84+1.29 (+5.3%)

Gekko Brief

AI summaryOct 12 close

Cadre fell to a new 52-week low this week, trading as low as $24.40, after its shares had already slid roughly 50% from their 52-week high of $48.76. The decline comes despite Q2 2026 results that beat expectations, with revenue of $207.13 million against an anticipated $178.29 million and diluted EPS of $0.26 versus $0.22 consensus, and a raised 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $139.00 million-$144.00 million following revenue growth of 32.00 percent year over year. Commentary this week has been mixed, with one analysis framing a short-bias setup targeting 17.6% downside, while another argued a Buy case built on record backlog, disciplined M&A and strong free cash flow despite the 45% share price decline.

CDRE closed at $25.84, up 5.3% on the day, but remains below both its 50-day average of $29.27 and 200-day average of $33.18, with the 50-day below the 200-day. The GekkoIndex reads 65.1, placing the stock in the Accumulation zone, down 8.4 points over the past five sessions. Price sits 17.6% below Gekko Fair Value of $31.35.

Earnings are due 3 November 2026, 21 days out, falling inside a typical 20-trading-day holding window and the stock's 3.6% typical daily move. No insider, Congress or unusual options activity appears in the current windows. Seasonality from this point in the calendar has averaged a 5.7% move over the next 20 trading days across 4 years, rising in 3 of them. Consensus among 7 analysts stands at 6 buy and 1 sell, with a consensus target of $47.50.
