The weekly trend is active. Price is 0.9% above the Trend Line and sits at 74.0% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -0.4%, after a -1.1% 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 51/100.
