Recently it reported Jun '23 quarterly earnings +0% versus the year-ago period, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns. Its Earnings Per Share Rating is currently 88, still above the 80+ minimum guidelint for buy candidates.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares reportedly fell from 613 in Sep '22 to 593 in Mar '23, not a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is only a slightly bullish sign of accumulation over the past 50 days.
