Macro
The weather every stock is priced against — volatility, interest rates, currencies and the economy. Not a signal about any one ticker; the backdrop they all move in.
Volatility (VIX)
52-week range 13.4–35.3. Above ~20 signals rising fear; a higher VIX means the market expects bigger swings. Note it rises when stocks fall, so up is the anxious direction here.
