Technical asset picture
Sappi (SAP.JO) currently has a total score of 8 points, placing it in the very weak range. The score is made up of Performance (3), Stability (12) and Trend (12). All three sub-scores are currently below average.
Performance scores 3 points (very weak). Least weak metric: 5Y return at -64.7 %. Main drag: 1Y return at -53.6 %.
Stability scores 12 points (very weak). Least weak metric: Sharpe ratio (90d) at -0.67. Main drag: return/volatility ratio at -1.09. Higher Stability points are better and typically reflect calmer swings and smaller drawdowns-but prices can still fall.
Trend scores 12 points (very weak). Trend signals are mostly negative right now. Least weak signal: Price is about 4.8 % below SMA50. Main drag: 12M momentum at -55.6 %.
