Technical analysis

our read · what classic indicators say

16/100Weak vs universe

Ranks 16th of 100 covered names on our technical composite — the composite itself scores 27/100 · 25% of the TickerWhale Score

3 buy · 3 sell · 2 neutral of 8 votes

Textbook signals on this stock alone — not part of the TickerWhale Score

TickerWhale rates HRL's technical setup weak — 16th percentile of the covered universe. Classic chart indicators lean neutral — they read this stock on its own over days, where our score ranks it against every covered name over months, so the two often part company.
