Mixed setup
The weekly trend is active. Price is 5.1% above the Trend Line and sits at 46.5% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 2.5%, after a -3.0% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks weakly versus its universe; growth ranks weakly; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. The latest news-sentiment score is 49/100.
