Price & timing
Price $47.77, RSI 40.
↳ Plain EnglishA multiple is what the market charges for a dollar of this company's earnings, cash or revenue; the trend and the options tape say what the price is doing around it. Together they are the timing picture, not the quality one.

How to read this
Down 1.63% on the session.
Follow the solid line: each point is a session close. Compare it to the 50-day average — while price stays above it the short-term trend is up, and a drop below is the first structural warning.
Momentum (RSI-14)COOL

The average true range — how far this stock moves on an ordinary day. It sets the scale a stop has to clear.

Where price sits inside its own volatility band. The edges are where a move is stretched, not where it reverses.

The volume-weighted average of the last month. Price above it means recent buyers are, on average, in profit.

0 of the 6 priced multiples above sit in the richer half of its band. Each priced multiple is read against this stock's own history where a five-year range is on file, so the question is whether today is dear for this name rather than for the market. The multiples are computed separately from the quote above and are not re-priced as it moves, so they can lag it.
