GCO
STRONG BUYAPPROVEGenesco Inc. · Consumer Cyclical · United States · $396M · Avg Vol: $7M/d
Genesco clears the calibrated bar. All three legs are above the floor (Q50 V61 M66) and a buyback retiring 5.44% of shares outstanding provides substantial corroboration, alongside nominal insider buying. Nothing adverse is on file: no negative earnings revision and no net selling. Value at V61 and momentum at M66 both give reasonable support.
