   "question": "Is Shell (SHEL) a buy right now?",
   "answer": "CleaRank's model scores SHEL 88/100, a Strong Buy rating. The trend carries the score: the price is 19.32% above its 200-day average and 7.76% above its 50-day average, and the 50-day average is 10.72% above the 200-day. None of the factors in the model reads negative. This describes the data on this page and is not a personal recommendation."
  },
  {
   "question": "How has Shell (SHEL) performed over the past year?",
   "answer": "The share price climbed 38.76% over the past year, 21.55% over three months and 9.39% in the last month. Shell now sits 3.37% below its 52-week high of $108.43."
  },
  {
   "question": "What are the key price levels for SHEL?",
   "answer": "The nearest level above the price is the 52-week high of $108.43. Below the price, the first level is the 20-day EMA at $102.67, followed by the 50-day SMA at $97.23."
  },
  {
   "question": "Is SHEL expensive compared with Energy stocks?",
   "answer": "Shell's trailing P/E of 11.56 sits 37.2% below the Energy median of 18.4, which the peer comparison on this page labels a discount to peers. Its price-to-sales ratio of 1.00 is 60.0% under the sector median of 2.5. Those medians draw on 28 stocks from the whole sector, not just direct rivals."
  },
  {
   "question": "Does SHEL pay a dividend?",
   "answer": "Yes. SHEL pays a trailing dividend yield of 2.88%, which works out to $3.02 a share a year. The yield is calculated by dividing the dividend by the price, so it moves whenever either of those moves."
  },
  {
   "question": "What do Wall Street analysts think of SHEL?",
   "answer": "Among the 16 analysts who cover Shell (SHEL), 7 recommend buying it, 9 recommend holding, and none recommend selling. The median 12-month price target is $102.00, which is 2.6% below the current price."
  },
  {
   "question": "How often has SHEL beaten earnings estimates?",
   "answer": "SHEL beat the EPS estimate in 6 of the 7 reports in our data. The share price fell in the first session after 4 of those 6 beats."
  },
  {
   "question": "How volatile is SHEL?",
   "answer": "On an average day, Shell (SHEL) moves 1.29%, based on the 30-day standard deviation of its daily returns."
  },
  {
   "question": "What is the 52-week range of SHEL?",
   "answer": "Over the past 52 weeks, SHEL has moved between $68.63 and $108.43. At $104.78, the stock sits at 91% of that range, 52.68% above the low and 3.37% below the high."
  },
  {
   "question": "Is SHEL in an uptrend?",
   "answer": "Yes. Shell (SHEL) trades at $104.78, above both its 50- and 200-day moving averages ($97.23 and $87.81). Its 14-day RSI on daily closes is 61.3, showing bullish momentum without being overbought."
