Risk score
Higher means more can go wrong. This is not advice to buy or sell. Only one factor could be measured for this asset, so read the number as that factor alone. A low score does not mean safe — this page's own worst year is the better guide to that.

One caveat worth understanding. The holding periods we count start on every trading day, so they overlap heavily — yesterday's year and today's year share all but one day. That means they are not 1,002 independent experiments; a single long run up or down colours a great many of them at once. It is an honest picture of what holding this asset felt like, not a sample you can do statistics on. Dividends are not included, so a share paying a steady dividend did better than the figure here shows. We do not show unlock dates, because the data source for them is not something we can verify for free, and we would rather leave a gap than guess. Buzdy is free to compare and does not take a commission on anything you do next.
