Bearish
Positives: strong 1-year return of +107.9%. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-3.51% over 10 days); 3-month momentum negative (-14.9%). Currently 41.0% off its 52-week high. Score: -4/7.
IAG is trading below its 200-day MA ($16.99) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 32.7 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +107.9% compares to +16.5% for SPY (beat the market by 91.5%). The current 41.0% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
