AI CONVICTION THESIS

Bermaz Auto distributes Mazda, Kia, and Peugeot passenger vehicles across Malaysia and the Philippines, supported by significant share repurchases, insider buying, and positive consensus earnings revisions. However, automotive distribution is a capital-intensive cyclical franchise lacking structural pricing power, exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations, OEM principal agreement renewals, and domestic consumer credit availability.

SwingsAverage

Calmer than 57% of stocks we rank over the past year (38% 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.
