EXPOStock and Options Trade Setup — Exponent, Inc.
Nasdaq · Engineering & Scientific Consulting Services · Low-liquidity options · Mid cap · ~$3.6B
Exponent is one of the most defensible service businesses in the mid-cap universe — its reputation for unimpeachable expert testimony and engineering analysis has been built over 50 years and cannot be replicated by a new entrant or an AI tool. Clients hire EXPO when the stakes are highest: product liability lawsuits, regulatory enforcement actions, catastrophic failure investigations. In those contexts, the quality of the expert matters more than the price of the engagement. Revenue is resilient through cycles because litigation and regulatory enforcement tend to increase, not decrease, during economic downturns. Gross margins consistently above 60%, no debt, and a clean balance sheet make EXPO a compounding machine. The stock is not cheap on earnings multiples, but the quality of the business justifies the premium — it is a recurring-revenue consulting firm with nearly zero customer acquisition cost.

EXPO Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is EXPO a good options trade today?+
Exponent, Inc. (EXPO) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 64/100, ranking it top 43% of today's scan. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a bullish setup, so the algorithm is positioned bullish (calls / call debit spreads). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is EXPO's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
EXPO's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 65%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past EXPO trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for EXPO?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the EXPO setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh EXPO's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If EXPO drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for EXPO?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to EXPO: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is EXPO outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. EXPO currently scores 64.
How does EXPO compare to other Engineering & Scientific Consulting Services setups?+
EXPO's sector rank and percentile against other Engineering & Scientific Consulting Services tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector. For direct comparison, see the "Related Engineering & Scientific Consulting Services Options Setups" panel above. When multiple tickers in the same sector are scoring 80+, the algorithm flags the cluster as a sector rotation signal and may upweight position sizing.
