Both readings sit above the midpoint — business quality at 62 and price structure at 84 out of 100 — so they are not in conflict. The fundamentals and the tape are saying the same thing, which is the case in which either one alone would have been enough.
| Trigger | Where it stands now | What it would mean |
|---|---|---|
| IS Score reaches 75 and holds two consecutive quarters | now 61.9 | would move us up one band |
| IS Score stops falling - one quarter higher than the prior | last four: 59 → 60 → 63 → 62 | the direction matters more than the level |
| Technical vote share back above 50% | now 100% | price structure no longer broken |
| Institutional holder count rises two quarters running | peak 1,100 → now 1,010 | fewer institutions willing to hold is our clearest warning |

Why 2024-12 reads 100.37%. Institutions cannot hold more of a company than exists. The reported 1927.0M shares exceed the 1920.0M outstanding, and a single filer accounts for the excess: PRICE T ROWE ASSOCIATES INC /MD reports 245,885,918 shares against 237,674,170 the prior quarter, a 1x jump, which alone would be 12.8% of the company. Excluding that filing, ownership is 87.6%. We publish both figures. 13F filings are due 45 days after quarter end and amendments keep arriving after that, so the newest quarter is provisional by construction - this is what an unsettled quarter looks like.

Method. Every figure in this factsheet is looked up from a named field computed in code. It contains no model-written text.
Not covered. Short interest as a percent of float and days-to-cover are not in this data set — the short-sale figures above are FINRA volume, a flow, and cannot support squeeze or covering analysis. Options positioning and intraday data are also absent. 13F ownership is filed 45 days after quarter end and congressional trades are disclosed on a lag, so both describe a past position, not a current one.
