Weak trend
The weekly trend is not active. Price is -4.5% below the Trend Line and sits at 30.0% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -3.8%, after a -0.3% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks weakly versus its universe; growth ranks weakly; valuation is expensive relative to peers. The latest news-sentiment score is 50/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.
