Our reading of it

Reading the LIN Bias Score

The LIN 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.

LIN Bias Score, common questions

What is the LIN Bias Score?
The most recent publicly published Bias Score for Linde plc (LIN) is +55, which falls in the bullish band. The Bias Score runs from -100 to +100 and aggregates four separate readings of the same stock into one composite figure.
Does the LIN analysis include news, analyst ratings and fundamentals?
Yes. The LIN Bias Score is built from four separate layers of market data: price structure, news sentiment, analyst ratings and fundamentals. On the reading above the four sit far apart (divergence 51 of 100), so the composite hides a real disagreement. How each layer reads LIN on its own is in the free watchlist report.
Is the score on this page today's reading?
No. Public pages run 3 trading days behind, so the figure above is the reading from 3 trading days ago rather than the current one. The current reading is available to signed-in users at no cost.
Has the LIN Bias Score been stable?
Over the last 30 published readings it ranged between -18 and +66, crossed zero 4 times, and its day-to-day movement was widely variable. A 30 day history is charted above.
Does a positive Bias Score mean LIN 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.
