The weekly trend is not active. Price is 5.1% above the Trend Line and sits at 84.0% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned -1.3%, after a 3.5% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality is middle-of-the-pack; growth is moderate; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. The latest news-sentiment score is 52/100.
