What these badges mean

RSI: RSI(14) is 71.88. Below 30 oversold, 70 and above overbought; between them neither extreme: 30–45 neutral-low, 45–55 neutral, 55–70 neutral-high. A condition, not a direction.
Volatility: 20-day realised volatility at the 31st percentile of its own history since 1962. Higher = larger daily swings; a risk measure, not a direction.
52-week position: Trading at 97.7% of the 52-week range. Position only — being near the high is not itself bullish or bearish.
Beta: 52-week beta to the S&P 500 is -0.14. Higher = amplifies market moves; a risk measure, not a direction.
Relative volume: Relative volume 1.00x its 20-day average, 60th percentile since 1962. Participation behind the move; not a direction.
Earnings: Next scheduled earnings: 2026-10-27 (in 7 days).

Scoring method

Short-term momentum: Majority of three votes: the combined 5- and 10-day returns (one vote); MACD against its signal line; the histogram's change on the previous session. A tie reads Mixed.
Medium-term trend: Based on the majority sign of the medium-term return horizons.
Moving averages: Scored on price vs the 50- and 200-day trend averages.
Relative performance: Scored on the majority sign of relative return vs the S&P 500.

Relative performance

This stock’s return minus a benchmark’s over the same window (percentage points; positive = outperformed), at three adjustments: raw vs the index, beta-adjusted excess (isolating the stock-specific move) and vs its sector ETF.

Rank among covered stocks

This stock’s standing on each measure across the covered-stock universe (1 = highest) — a cross-sectional companion to the own-history percentiles above, computed from the same daily dataset. Ranks compare each stock’s current reading; the underlying own-history percentiles draw on histories of differing length (some reaching into coarser early-era pricing), so they are not strictly comparable instrument-to-instrument — read each alongside its own “since YYYY” basis in the table above.

Methodology

This page reports market statistics computed from daily closing data. It states figures and their historical context, and adds a Technical Assessment: a transparent, rules-based reading that puts those same statistics into plain language, including a factor sign tally — a count of how many scored factors read positive, negative or mixed, not a composite score or analyst rating. Every reading follows a fixed, published rule and traces back to the metrics on this page. It is informational and educational only — not investment advice, a price target, a forecast or a recommendation to buy or sell.

Full definitions for every metric on this page — how each is computed, over what window and on what basis — are on the methodology page.

Machine-readable: this page’s numbers and 252-session price history as JSON or the daily close and moving-average series as CSV — the figures above plus the series behind the chart, refreshed each session.
