AIQ Brief
COST is currently in a mixed setup with AIQ 45/100 and Smart 3/10 (weak relative) at $940.87. Risk is elevated. Read this as a prioritization signal, then confirm entry quality and sizing with your own risk plan.
Risk is the strongest contributor at 67/100, while Momentum is the binding constraint at 29/100. With a 38-point spread, the profile is imbalanced, so patience and entry discipline are more important than speed.
COST ranks 4/4 in this peer set (45 vs peer average 58.8). On risk-adjusted efficiency, Sharpe is below peer average (-0.46 vs 0.86). This helps distinguish true relative leadership from broad sector drift.
Action now: this is a neutral/selective setup. Improve entry quality by waiting for momentum acceleration or a better risk profile before adding. Keep sizing moderate until factors align.
Sharpe is -0.46, which is negative: recent return has not compensated for risk over this lookback window.
