Trend Runway

Implied spot is 28.44 with the stock +21.3% vs 50DMA and +16.9% vs 200DMA. The tape is sitting 23.9% through the 52-week range, which frames the regime as trend runway open.

Ownership Register

Institutions hold about 75.1% and insiders about 12.1%, locking roughly 75.2% of the register and leaving 24.8% 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 1.8, and stability score 80.0/100. Forward yield sits near 2.3% while payout is around 59.5%.
