IBD's proprietary RS Rating identifies market leadership by using a 1 (worst) to 99 (best) score that identifies how a stock's price action over the trailing 52 weeks matches up against the rest of the market.
Decades of market research shows that the market's biggest winners often have an RS Rating north of 80 in the early stages of their moves.
Now is not an ideal time to jump in since it isn't near a proper buy zone, but see if the stock goes on to offer and clear an appropriate buy point.
