Technical Rating and Analysis

6

Taking everything into account, NERV scores 6 out of 10 in our technical rating. This is due to a consistent overall performance, although we see some doubts in the very recent evolution. In the medium time frame things are still looking good.

  • 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 long term trend is positive and the short term trend is neutral. The long term trend gets the benefit of the doubt for now.
  • NERV is part of the Biotechnology industry. There are 525 other stocks in this industry. NERV outperforms 72% of them.
  • Looking at the yearly performance, NERV did better than 89% of all other stocks. However, this overall performance is mostly based on the strong move around 4 months ago.
