Trend Runway

Implied spot is 962.00 with the stock +3.0% vs 50DMA and +4.4% vs 200DMA. The tape is sitting 67.7% through the 52-week range, which frames the regime as trend mixed.

Ownership Register

Institutions hold about 62.2% and insiders about 11.7%, locking roughly 73.9% of the register and leaving 26.1% in free float. That reads as institutional gravity.

Pressure Pocket

The API did not return a usable short-float field for this ticker, so the pressure score leans more on float lock and crowding than a full short ledger.

Capital Rhythm

Dividend cadence reads semi-annual with 2 event(s) in the last full year, a five-year average of 2.2, and stability score 80.0/100. Forward yield sits near 3.9% while payout is around 36.4%.
