Weekly setup

Constructive, but selective

The weekly trend is active. Price is 17.4% above the Trend Line and sits at 98.8% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 1.3%, after a 7.2% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is expensive relative to peers. Options positioning is mixed with 41/100 conviction, while the latest news-sentiment score is 55/100. Near-term considerations: price is close to its 52-week high; earnings are due in 76d.
