Revenue-Price Divergence
Stocks where quarterly revenue is growing year-over-year while the share price has been sliding over the same span.
What it means
Revenue-Price Divergence is a fundamentals-vs-price check rather than a chart pattern: it looks for stocks where reported quarterly revenue is up year-over-year, but the stock price has fallen over the same period — the market pricing in something worse than what the top-line numbers currently show. This kind of disconnect can mean the market is pricing in a real, forward-looking concern (margins, guidance, competition) that revenue alone doesn't capture — or it can mean sentiment has simply outrun the fundamentals. Either way, it's a genuinely different kind of signal from the purely price-based ones on this list.
How MarketWall calculates it
MarketWall compares quarterly revenue growth (from SEC EDGAR filings) against price performance over two windows: a "6-month" cut (the latest reported quarter's own year-over-year growth vs. the trailing ~6-month price move) and a stricter "1-year" cut (four consecutive quarters that each beat their year-ago comparison, vs. a price decline of more than a year). Stock-only — it depends on SEC filing history, which crypto and commodities don't have. See the Data Sources & Methodology page for the full signal list.
How it's typically used
This is a starting point for research, not a conclusion — a revenue/price disconnect can resolve either by the price catching up to the fundamentals, or by the fundamentals eventually catching down to what the price has already been signaling (slowing growth, margin pressure, one-off revenue that won't repeat). The "1-year" variant is a stricter, more sustained version of the same idea — four consecutive quarters of beat-your-own-comp growth is a materially higher bar than one good quarter, so it's generally read as the more durable of the two cuts.

FAQ
Why doesn't this signal show up for crypto?
It's built on SEC-filed quarterly revenue data, which only exists for SEC-reporting stocks.
What's the difference between the 6-month and 1-year versions?
The 6-month cut only needs the latest quarter to show year-over-year growth. The 1-year cut requires four consecutive quarters that each beat their own year-ago comparison — a full year of sustained growth, not one quarter.
How current is the revenue data?
Revenue history is synced weekly from SEC EDGAR's XBRL filings.
