The Perfect Score
The TipRanks Smart Score tool assigns scores to stocks on a scale of one to ten, providing insights into a stock’s potential to exceed general market returns. The score is derived from the assessment of eight distinct factors, encompassing hedge fund activities, fundamental analysis, analyst ratings, and other relevant criteria.

The company recently announced its third-quarter earnings for 2023.
