The news behind the score

Showing 1-1 of 1

Only company-specific stories enter this score. The latest 30 days are shown newest first, with newer stories weighted more heavily and duplicate coverage combined.

Earlier company news

WHC news archive

Showing 1-20 of 20 stored headlines

Stored newest first for historical research. It starts after the newest three pages above and then continues through older news. Each archive page is loaded only when it is opened.

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.
