AI CONVICTION THESIS

Universal Electronics makes remote controls and smart-home control products, including thermostats for utilities and property managers. Its core remote-control business has been in long-term decline as TV makers and streaming devices change. The 3.4% of shares sold over the past 90 days came from Toro 18 Holdings, an outside investor that has cut its stake below 10%, not from management, who received share grants in the same period. With a shrinking core business and no clear catalyst, the case is unproven either way.

SwingsBumpy

Swung more than 68% of stocks we rank over the past year (53% 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.
