Technical Rating and Analysis

7

Overall NERV gets a technical rating of 7 out of 10. In the last year, NERV was one of the better performers, but we do observe some doubts in the very recent evolution.

  • NERV is currently trading in the lower part of its 52 week range, which is not a good signal. Certainly not because the S&P500 Index is trading near new highs.
  • In the last month NERV has a been trading in the 3.75 - 4.86 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading near the lows of this range.
  • Prices have been falling strongly lately, it is better to avoid new long positions here.
  • The short term is neutral, but the long term trend is still positive. Not much to worry about for now.
  • NERV is one of the better performing stocks in the Biotechnology industry, it outperforms 70% of 525 stocks in the same industry.
  • When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, we notice that NERV is one of the better performing stocks in the market, outperforming 88% of all stocks. However, this overall performance is mostly based on the strong move around 4 months ago.
