The Average True Range (ATR) of 27.95 suggests moderate volatility, with potential price swings of 2-3% per week.

From a fundamental perspective, GHCs low P/E ratio of 5.36 and P/B ratio of 0.90 indicate undervaluation relative to its peers. The companys Return on Equity (RoE) of 17.02% reflects strong profitability. With a market capitalization of $3,959.82 million and a P/S ratio of 0.83, GHC appears attractively priced for value investors.
