IP is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($35.40) and 200-day ($38.73) moving averages. An RSI of 62.9 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -23.1% compares to +16.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 39.5%). The current 24.9% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
