Weak trend

The weekly trend is not active. Price is -3.3% below the Trend Line and sits at 22.5% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 1.2%, after a -5.1% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks strongly versus its universe; growth ranks strongly; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. The latest news-sentiment score is 54/100.
