“This stock has been making lower highs for the last seven years dating back to 2013 amid what’s
been one of the best tech rallies since the ’90s. That’s a sign of relative weakness, and why we think
this stock continues to underperform the tech sector and rise at a lesser pace.”
Weakness is an apt term.
