Limoneira Company (LMNR) closed at $12.73 as of 2026-09-18, trading 24.0% below its 200-week moving average of $16.74. This places LMNR in the extreme value zone. The stock is currently moving closer to the line, down from -22.1% last week. The 14-week RSI sits at 48, indicating neutral momentum.
A big spike in selling this week — 2.4x 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 1149 weeks of data, LMNR has crossed below its 200-week moving average 19 times. On average, these episodes lasted 28 weeks. The average one-year return after crossing below was -0.8%, suggesting these dips have not historically been reliable buying opportunities for this stock.
With a market cap of $231 million, LMNR is a small-cap stock. Free cash flow yield is currently negative, meaning the company is burning cash. Return on equity stands at -24.7%. The stock trades at 1.7x book value.
Over the past 22.1 years, a hypothetical investment of $100 in LMNR would have grown to $172, compared to $1020 for the S&P 500. LMNR has returned 2.5% annualized vs 11.1% for the index, underperforming the broader market over this period.
Free cash flow has been declining at a -100% compound annual rate. A deteriorating cash flow trend warrants extra scrutiny — the stock may be cheap for a reason.

Bean Score Experimental

LMNR currently has negative free cash flow, so price-based dislocation levels are not available. The score still tracks yield deviation from baseline.

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 analysis points: prices at which the yield deviation becomes unusual enough to justify the work. FCF values update quarterly with earnings; between reports, all movement is price-driven.
Dislocation Scores Experimental
Each score measures deviation from LMNR'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. Each one is an analysis point, a reason to open the filings. Annual-statement scores (buyback, accruals, FCF vs history) rest on only ~4 yearly data points and are deltas, not sigmas.
