The weekly trend is active. Price is 23.9% above the Trend Line and sits at 51.8% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 1.9%, after a -3.8% 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 50/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.
