Weak trend

The weekly trend is not active. Price is -4.8% below the Trend Line and sits at 53.6% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -5.6%, after a -7.5% 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 54/100.
