Our reading of it

Reading the HCA Bias Score

The HCA Bias Score folds four layers of market data, price structure, news sentiment, analyst ratings and fundamentals, into one reading from -100 to +100.

+100 means all four lean bullish, -100 all four bearish. A reading near 0 is either quiet or a disagreement, which is what the divergence score separates.

What feeds the score, where the data comes from and what it cannot do is set out on the methodology page. For the terms, see the glossary and frequently asked questions.

Does a positive Bias Score mean HCA will rise?
No. The Bias Score describes what the market data currently says about a stock. It is a description of existing data, not a forecast, and EquityBias does not publish price predictions or investment advice.

Not investment advice. A Bias Score describes market data that already exists, it does not forecast price, and past readings say nothing about future results. Trading equities carries risk and you can lose part or all of what you put in.
