What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of SCCO's valuation, growth and risks.
Against the 30.2 median P/E of Basic Materials stocks, SCCO's P/E of 24.74 is 18.1% below that median, which counts as broadly in line with peers. The price-to-sales ratio of 9.13 sits 117.4% above the sector median of 4.2. SCCO has a market capitalisation of $157.1B.
SCCO is growing faster than its sector. On profitability, the net margin stands at 37.16% and the operating margin at 59.94%, and return on equity of 52.88% is above the sector median of 17.9%. The balance sheet shows debt-to-equity of 0.63, and the trailing dividend yield is 2.10%, equal to $3.90 a share a year.
SCCO reported on October 20, 2026 and beat the estimate by 7.50%, posting EPS of $2.15 against the $2.00 analysts had expected. Even so, the share price slipped 2.11% in the next session.
SCCO has beaten the EPS estimate in each of its last 7 reports, yet the stock fell after 4 of those 7 beats, lower in the first session. The biggest move in the earlier set came after the January 28, 2026 report, when EPS beat the estimate by 2.03% and the share price rose 4.92%. Analysts forecast EPS of $7.98 for this fiscal year, a rise of 57.0%, and $7.66 for the year after, a fall of 4.0%.
Normal swings for SCCO run at about 2.28% a day; measured against the S&P 500, its beta is 1.13. Until the price regains its moving averages, the trend works against holders. The price is 16.09% below its 52-week high of $221.67. Insiders sold $3.6M over the last 18 months and bought none on the open market, though sales of this kind are often planned in advance and say less than purchases would.

CleaRank Financial AI analysis of SCCO
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
SCCO is trading in a downtrend. At $186.01, the stock sits 7.54% below its 50-day average of $201.18 and 0.76% below its 200-day average of $187.44. Over the past year, the price is 58.80% above the 52-week low of $117.13, yet still 16.09% below the high of $221.67.
SCCO's recent pullback sits within a firmer multi-period record. The price has fallen 8.78% over the past month, yet it rose 3.73% over three months and 47.59% over the year. Momentum is weak for now: the 14-day RSI at 36.3 sits in the bearish zone while staying above the oversold line, and the MACD line is negative.

Earnings beat, but the stock fell ›
The October 20, 2026 report beat the EPS estimate by 7.50%, and the share price fell 2.11% in the first session after it.
Source: Earnings report, October 20, 2026
- Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 200-day SMA at $187.44 overhead and the 52-week low at $117.13 underneath.
- Momentum readings show the 14-day RSI at 36.3, inside the bearish zone, while the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 signal stretched momentum.
- The share price fell 2.11% in the first session after the October 20, 2026 report. Across the last 7 reports, SCCO beat estimates in 7 of them.
The trend is down because SCCO sits beneath both its 50-day ($201.18) and 200-day ($187.44) averages. A move back above the 200-day would be the first sign of repair, and that average at $187.44 is the nearest level above the price.
The next level below the price is the 52-week low at $117.13.

Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in SCCO, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in SCCO today could grow to about $14,894 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $39,776 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $5,577. The simulation models price only; at today's 2.10% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
SCCO Stock Price Prediction 2030: Simulated Scenarios
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $277 for SCCO by 2030 in the base case, from $186 today (1.5x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $104. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on SCCO's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
