Strong relative strength, but attention is quiet relative to this name’s own recent norm. Academic work links low public attention to better forward returns on average — context to weigh, not a forecast.

Measures how unusual this name’s public attention is against its own 90-day history — a surprise reading, not a ranking of how watched it is versus other stocks. Intel, not a signal.
