The first third (a green rating of 1-33) indicates that the ticker is undervalued; the second third (a grey number between 34 and 66) means that the ticker is valued fairly; and the last third (red number of 67 to 100) reflects that the ticker is undervalued. We use an FA Score to show how many ratings show the ticker to be undervalued (green) or overvalued (red).

ALB’s FA Score shows that 0 FA rating(s) are green whileLAC’s FA Score has 0 green FA rating(s), and SQM’s FA Score reflects 2 green FA rating(s).

A green percentage from 90% to 51% indicates that the ticker is in a bullish trend. A red percentage from 90% - 51% indicates that the ticker is in a bearish trend. All grey percentages are below 50% and are considered not to confirm the trend signal.

ALB’s TA Score shows that 4 TA indicator(s) are bullish while LAC’s TA Score has 3 bullish TA indicator(s), and SQM’s TA Score reflects 4 bullish TA indicator(s).
