Spire had its Relative Strength (RS) Rating upgraded from 70 to 73 Friday — a welcome improvement, but still below the 80 or better score you look for.
IBD's unique rating measures market leadership with a 1 (worst) to 99 (best) score. The rating shows how a stock's price movement over the last 52 weeks compares to all the other stocks in our database.
