Momentum: what the metrics mean
How the share price has changed over three, six, nine and twelve months.
3M Price Performance — price over 3 months
The price change over a quarter. Compared with the sector median, so this is relative strength: +5% with the sector at −10% is a strong stock in a weak sector, and vice versa.
6M Price Performance — price over 6 months
The price change over six months relative to its sector.
9M Price Performance — price over 9 months
The price change over nine months relative to its sector.
1Y Price Performance — price over a year
The price change over twelve months. The longest of the four windows; historically it is annual relative strength that best carries on into the following months — the RS Rating is built on it too.
