Analysis summary
Technical asset picture
Pick n Pay Stores (PIK.JO) currently has a total score of 10 points, placing it in the very weak range. The score is made up of Performance (4), Stability (19) and Trend (11). All three sub-scores are currently below average.
Performance scores 4 points (very weak). Least weak metric: 1Y return at -32.0 %. Main drag: 10Y return at -71.1 %. This points to a sharper upswing more recently.
Stability scores 19 points (very weak). Least weak metric: volatility (365d, annualized) at 33.9 %. Main drag: Sharpe ratio (90d) at -1.48. Higher Stability points are better and typically reflect calmer swings and smaller drawdowns-but prices can still fall.
Trend scores 11 points (very weak). Trend signals are mostly negative right now. Least weak signal: Price is about 6.9 % below SMA50. Main drag: trend strength at -0.92. That often means the move is strong, but not perfectly steady.
Overall, the picture is very weak: none of the three dimensions shows a clear strength. On a metric level, volatility (365d, annualized) stands out, while Sharpe ratio (90d) is the main weak spot.
