A big spike in selling this week — 2.5x the usual volume, and the price dropped. Sometimes this kind of heavy selling marks the end of a decline. The idea is that the last reluctant holders have finally sold, leaving fewer sellers left to push the price lower.
Over the past 631 weeks of data, COTY has crossed below its 200-week moving average 7 times. On average, these episodes lasted 57 weeks. Historically, investors who bought COTY at the start of these episodes saw an average one-year return of +16.2%.
With a market cap of $1717 million, COTY is a small-cap stock. The company generates a free cash flow yield of 23.5%, which is notably high. Return on equity stands at -13.9%. The stock trades at 0.6x book value.
Share count has increased 4.8% over three years, indicating dilution. This stock also meets the Yartseva multibagger criteria as a small-cap with strong free cash flow yield and reasonable book value.
Over the past 12.2 years, a hypothetical investment of $100 in COTY would have grown to $14, compared to $476 for the S&P 500. COTY has returned -15.1% annualized vs 13.7% for the index, underperforming the broader market over this period.
Free cash flow has been declining at a -20.5% 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 COTY would reach each dislocation threshold.

| Level | σ | Price | Signal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deep Value | +2σ | $1.40 | Unusually cheap — potential buy zone |
| Value | +1σ | $1.61 | Cheap vs. own history |
| Fair Value | +0σ | $1.90 | Historical mean behavior |
| Expensive | -1σ | $2.30 | Expensive vs. own history |
| Deep Expensive | -2σ | $2.93 | 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 COTY'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.
