The Relative Strength (RS) Rating for Meta Platforms (FB) climbed to 71 Thursday, up from 65 the day before. The rating hike comes as the FANG stock, formerly known as Facebook, continues to grow at a fast pace, putting up double- and sometimes triple-digit profit and sales numbers. Meta stock slid 2% Thursday amid a tech sector rout.
The revised 71 RS Rating means that Meta stock has outperformed 71% of all stocks over the past year. It’s a good but not a great number. Market research shows that stocks that go on to make the biggest gains typically have an RS Rating north of 80 in the early stages of their moves. See if Meta Platforms can continue to show renewed price strength and clear that threshold.
