Analysis summary
Technical asset picture
McCormick (MKC) currently has a total score of 19 points, placing it in the very weak range. The score is made up of Performance (13), Stability (36) and Trend (10). All three sub-scores are currently below average.
Performance scores 13 points (very weak). Least weak metric: 10Y return at 1.4 %. Main drag: 1Y return at -40.6 %. This suggests stronger long-term than short-term performance.
Stability scores 36 points (weak). Best-ranked metric: max drawdown (10Y) at -53.9 %. Main drag: return/volatility ratio at -1.44. Higher Stability points are better and typically reflect calmer swings and smaller drawdowns-but prices can still fall.
Trend scores 10 points (very weak). Trend signals are mostly negative right now. Least weak metric: trend strength at -0.59. Main drag: Price is about 21.4 % below SMA50.
Overall, the picture is very weak: none of the three dimensions shows a clear strength. On a metric level, max drawdown (10Y) stands out, while return/volatility ratio is the main weak spot.
Current market backdrop

What that typically means here
