What the numbers show: C$27.54 close, below both moving averages

The latest close was C$27.54, 2.9% below the 50-day moving average of C$28.35 and 13.0% below the 200-day average of C$31.64. The shares were at 32% of their supplied 52-week range, from C$17.20 to C$49.97.

Latest volume was 7,659 shares, compared with a 20-day average of 925,895, or 0.79 times that average. The supplied facts don’t explain the low latest-session volume.

What to watch next: whether company-specific information emerges

No company news was listed alongside the weekly decline. Any new company-specific information could help clarify the move. Investors can also watch whether the shares remain below the stated 50-day and 200-day averages, while keeping the daily, weekly, monthly and year-to-date returns in perspective.
