What it meansHOLX's price impact over 5 sessions is higher than 48% of sector; by illiquidity it is more liquid than 2% of sector. Both are measured on HOLX itself, not a portfolio.
What history saysOut of 100 stocks with the highest price impact, 49 beat the median stock over the next week; with the lowest, 50. HOLX sits in the middle fifth today. That ordering held in 27 of 32 years since 1995. On average the lowest fifth out-earned the highest by 0.13 points over the next week. Over the next three months 52 in 100 of the least liquid fifth beat the median stock, against 48 of the most liquid. HOLX sits in the highest fifth for illiquidity.

InsightModel output
What it meansThe belief leans down (−1.78%) and its own P(up) is 0.27: a negative average and a worse-than-even chance of rising.
What history saysThe expected return ranks higher than 6% of 1,353 names today. On settled outcomes a top-decile belief has been right 51.0% of the time against 51.7% for every name. Proven measures read outside the belief: 6 — favouring it, 0; leaning against it, 3. The strongest of them, Run vs industry · 3 sessions, held its ordering in 32 of 32 years since 1995.
How to use itRead the rank and the range before the number; the band legs, not the average, say how wide the outcomes run.
