What the score says about VRTX right now
Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc (VRTX) currently scores 61/100 on the Market Census six-factor composite, at the Above average score level. VRTX is +1.36% on the day and +1.30% over five sessions as of the most recent tick. Above average sits a bit above the middle. The data for VRTX leans good, with some weak spots. VRTX's strongest factor is price trend at 76/100 — a strong read on which way the price has been going. The weakest factor is market mood at 50/100 — middling backdrop. A weak market mood drags every name in the cohort; if VRTX is still scoring well on the composite despite this, the company-specific factors must be doing heavy lifting.

This page is free to read with no account at all. Signing up takes an email and a password: a free account runs the scanner on the top 10 scored rows of any scan, keeps one saved screen, a 5-ticker watchlist, and opens 12 ticker detail pages a day. The card is what starts a 30-day Premium trial — $0 that day, then $19.99/month from day 30, cancel online any time before then — and that is what turns on every matching row instead of the first 10, alerts, the 200-ticker watchlist and recent insider buys (SEC Form 4).
