Weak trend
The weekly trend is not active. Price is -10.0% below the Trend Line and sits at 14.3% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 3.8%, after a -10.0% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks weakly versus its universe; growth ranks strongly; valuation is expensive relative to peers. The latest news-sentiment score is 50/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.

- Trend Line remains the key weekly regime level.
