Price and news history

News score and weekly price over 26 weeks

Early company-news score

Company-specific news is present, but the evidence has not yet earned enough independent, fresh information weight for price confirmation to be treated as a firm signal.

One scoring method across the chart.Stored company headlines are recalculated at each weekly point with the current 30-day freshness weighting. Old published snapshots are left unchanged.

Earlier company news

VSL news archive

Showing 1-10 of 10 stored headlines

Stored newest first for historical research. These older headlines are retained for reference and do not contribute to the current sentiment gauge above. Where an early legacy import did not retain its canonical URL, the headline links to an exact publisher-aware source lookup instead of inventing an article address.

How the page works

How to read the score

The score shows direction

It describes the weighted balance of qualifying headlines. A score of 50 can mean balanced news or that there is not enough evidence; the status label explains which.

Confidence is separate

Confidence measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.

Price is confirmation

Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.

What the page does

It measures news already published. It is not a forecast, recommendation or price target.
