Constructive, but selective

The weekly trend is active. Price is 3.0% above the Trend Line and sits at 50.9% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -2.9%, after a 3.0% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks strongly versus its universe; growth ranks strongly; valuation is expensive relative to peers.
