I have completed an event-based back-test evaluating FIGS (ticker FIGS.N) performance after every ≥ 9 % intraday surge from 2022-01-03 to 2025-12-01. Key findings (30-day event study, 9 valid events):• Average next-day return ≈ +1.95 %; win-rate 67 %. • Peak average excess return came on day 14 (≈ +7.05 %). • Returns were positive through day 14, then mean-reverted; by day 30 the average gain faded to ≈ –0.77 %. • None of the daily excess returns reached statistical significance at the 95 % level, highlighting limited predictive power. • Small sample size (9 events) limits robustness; treat insights with caution.Please open the interactive report below for full visual details (cumulative P&L curve, distribution of event returns, and trade-level table).Notes on assumptions:1.

FIGS at Inflection Point: Breakout or Correction?
FIGS' 9.3% surge reflects a confluence of strong earnings, analyst optimism, and bullish technicals. The stock's 52-week high at $10.705 and 12.4% adjusted EBITDA margin suggest a sustainable rally, but traders must monitor the $10.705 level for confirmation. With a 11.7% international revenue growth and BTIG's $12 price target, the upside potential remains compelling. However, a close below $8.92 (middle Bollinger Band) could trigger a pullback. Investors should also watch Nike (NKE), the sector leader, which is up 2.59% intraday, for broader apparel sector sentiment. Takeaway: Position for a breakout above $10.705 with FIGS20251219C10 or FIGS20260116C10, but set tight stops below $8.92 to mitigate risk.
