AI CONVICTION THESIS

Burckhardt Compression is a global leader in reciprocating compressors used on LNG carriers, in gas processing, refineries and hydrogen, with a profitable aftermarket service business. It reported a record financial year, but the shares fell sharply on weak order intake and earnings forecasts have been cut. A new LNG buildout could revive orders, but until order momentum turns there is no clear evidence that the recent slowdown is temporary.

SwingsCalm

Calmer than 75% of stocks we rank over the past year (29% 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.
