What Would Change This View
- Upgrade to Strong Buy
- Requires a committee score of 75.0 — +11.84 from today. Applies on the first day at or above the line; upgrades are never dampened.
- Downgrade to Watch
- Requires the score to fall below 55.0 — -8.16 from today. The band boundary is 60.0, but a one-step downgrade must clear a further margin first. A score oscillating around the line should not change the rating every night.
Executive Summary
The primary driver is market regime is bullish (bull market -- normal position sizing). The main limiting factor is p/e of 32.9 is moderate-to-rich. The committee is constructive but not yet at full conviction.
