Mixed setup
The weekly trend is active. Price is 7.7% above the Trend Line and sits at 60.2% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 2.7%, after a -12.7% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks weakly versus its universe; growth is moderate; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. The latest news-sentiment score is 42/100.
