Reading the XEL Bias Score

The XEL 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.

XEL Bias Score, common questions

What is the XEL Bias Score?
The most recent publicly published Bias Score for Xcel Energy Inc. (XEL) is -39, which falls in the bearish band. The Bias Score runs from -100 to +100 and aggregates four separate readings of the same stock into one composite figure.
Does the XEL analysis include news, analyst ratings and fundamentals?
Yes. The XEL 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 76 of 100), so the composite hides a real disagreement. How each layer reads XEL 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 XEL Bias Score been stable?
Over the last 30 published readings it ranged between -42 and +60, crossed zero once, and its day-to-day movement was moderately variable. A 30 day history is charted above.
Does a positive Bias Score mean XEL 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.
