AI CONVICTION THESIS

New Power Plasma makes plasma power generators and components for semiconductor and display equipment, and its share price has risen very strongly. Most of the shares sold in the past 90 days came from a venture capital fund exiting its stake, while the chairman and vice-chairman bought shares in July and August. The rally leaves the valuation stretched against a cyclical equipment market, so the case is unproven either way.

Price checkExperimental
SwingsVery bumpy

Swung more than 92% of stocks we rank over the past year (90% a year).

How this is worked out

What it measures: day-to-day price moves over the past year, as a yearly figure, ranked against every stock we cover. Very calm under 20% a year, Calm 20 to 30%, Average 30 to 40%, Bumpy 40 to 55%, Very bumpy above that.

What we found: across about 13,500 stocks in 34 markets (2002 to 2025), past swings were a good guide to the next year's, and bumpier stocks fell further. How much further changed too much between eras to put a number on it.

Calm is not safe: a calm stock can still slide steadily.

Rules fixed before any data was fetched. Describes the chart, not a recommendation.
