Trading volume is running at 1.1x of its 14-week average, which is in the normal range. The balance between buying and selling volume (0.87 ratio) is neutral — neither side is clearly dominating.
Over the past 2729 weeks of data, BNY has crossed below its 200-week moving average 44 times. On average, these episodes lasted 18 weeks. Historically, investors who bought BNY at the start of these episodes saw an average one-year return of +10.3%.
With a market cap of $107.8 billion, BNY is a large-cap stock. Return on equity stands at 14.1%. The stock trades at 2.7x book value.
The company has been aggressively buying back shares, reducing its share count by 14.9% over the past three years.
Over the past 33.6 years, a hypothetical investment of $100 in BNY would have grown to $4651, compared to $3064 for the S&P 500. That represents an annualized return of 12.1% vs 10.7% for the index — confirming BNY as a market-beating investment and the kind of quality company where buying during 200-week moving average touches has historically been rewarded.
Free cash flow has been declining at a -27.7% compound annual rate. A deteriorating cash flow trend warrants extra scrutiny — the stock may be cheap for a reason.

Bean Score Experimental
The Bean Score measures how far a stock's free cash flow yield has deviated from its own quarterly baseline, normalized by the stock's historical behavior. Between earnings dates, FCF is constant — so the score is purely a function of stock price. The levels below show at what prices BNY would reach each dislocation threshold.
Dislocation Price Levels
Prices where BNY's Bean Score would hit each σ threshold. Valid until next earnings report (date TBD — last report: 2026-03-31).
| Level | σ | Price | Signal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deep Value | +2σ | $115.07 | Unusually cheap — potential buy zone |
| Value | +1σ | $123.48 | Cheap vs. own history |
| Fair Value | +0σ | $133.20 | Historical mean behavior |
| Expensive | -1σ | $144.60 | Expensive vs. own history |
| Deep Expensive | -2σ | $158.12 | Unusually expensive — potential trim zone |

Signal Accuracy Collecting Data
The Bean Score system is accumulating weekly data to validate signal accuracy. After 13+ weeks of history, this section will display win rates and average returns for each σ threshold crossing — answering the question: "When this score says cheap or expensive, does the price subsequently move in the expected direction?"
Theoretical framework — not backtested or forward-tested. The Bean Score uses trailing twelve-month free cash flow yield as a dislocation identifier. It measures whether the market has pushed a stock's yield unusually far from its own baseline behavior. These levels are reference points for identifying potential swing trade opportunities, not buy/sell signals. FCF values update quarterly with earnings; between reports, all movement is price-driven.
Dislocation Scores Experimental
Each score measures deviation from BNY's own historical baseline — the same idea as the Bean Score, applied to different fundamentals. Positive means cheaper or more dislocated than this stock's norm. Scores marked σ are normalized by the stock's own variability; pp values are simple deltas from its recent baseline.
Theoretical framework — not backtested. These scores describe how unusual today's readings are for this specific company. They are starting points for research, not buy or sell signals. Annual-statement scores (buyback, accruals, FCF vs history) rest on only ~4 yearly data points and are deltas, not sigmas.
