The Therm Score doesn't give buy or sell recommendations — it's non-personalized historical statistical information. Today CenterPoint Energy (CNP) has a Therm Score of 96.8 (Hot zone). Across the covered universe (S&P 500, Dow 30 and Nasdaq-100 — 520 assets), when the score has been in the Hot zone, price rose over the following 21 sessions in 63.6% of 11 independent episodes analyzed (median +1.08%, net of trading costs). That's an aggregate historical pattern for the zone, not a personalized recommendation for CNP or an assessment of your situation.

MarketTherm doesn't forecast prices or set price targets for CenterPoint Energy. Instead of a forecast, here's the historical frequency: across the covered universe, price rose over the following 21 sessions in 63.6% of 11 independent episodes analyzed (median +1.08%, net of trading costs) after a score in the Hot zone. That's a statistical tendency for the zone as a whole, not a prediction for CNP specifically.

Yes — looking at CNP's own available history (537 sessions), its Therm Score has spent 3.9% of the time in the Hot zone. That's a different measure from the win-rate cited above (how often price rose afterward, across the whole universe) — this one just says how often CNP itself has scored in this zone, regardless of what happened to its price next.

Over the past 252 trading sessions (roughly a year), CNP has traded between $36.62 and $44.77, versus $41.97 today. This is the stock's own price range — see the next question for its Therm Score range over the same period.

Over the past 252 trading sessions (roughly a year), CNP's Therm Score has ranged from 0.0 to 96.8, versus 96.8 today. This tracks the score itself, not the stock price — see the previous question for CNP's 52-week price range.

CNP has been in the Hot zone for 1 consecutive session as of today. A longer streak means the score has been more persistently in this range recently — it isn't, by itself, a signal to act on.

Today, CNP's Therm Score of 96.8 ranks 1 of 5 tracked Utilities stocks (CNP included), which range from 81.6 to 96.8 today. This is descriptive context for the sector, not a ranking recommendation.

For the Hot zone, the historical share of positive episodes by timeframe has been: 5 sessions — 58.3% (n=12); 10 sessions — 66.7% (n=12); 21 sessions — 63.6% (n=11). Compare across timeframes yourself with the selector above — a pattern that holds up at every horizon is more convincing than one that only appears at a single one.

The Therm Score is only validated for horizons of 5, 10, and 21 trading sessions (roughly one week to one month) — it isn't a fundamental analysis tool and says nothing about CenterPoint Energy's prospects as a multi-year holding, its earnings, or its valuation.

It's based on a historical backtest across all 520 assets in the covered universe, using non-overlapping episodes and a strict train/test split by date to check the pattern holds out-of-sample, net of an estimated trading cost — see the Methodology page for the full process. Like any indicator based on past data, it doesn't guarantee future results, and it isn't a substitute for professional financial advice.
