The weekly trend is active. Price is 1.4% above the Trend Line and sits at 70.4% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -2.7%, after a -2.9% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks strongly versus its universe; growth is moderate; valuation is expensive relative to peers. The latest news-sentiment score is 50/100.
