What the score says about FSBW right now
FS Bancorp, Inc. Common Stock (FSBW) currently scores 41/100 on the Tapeline six-factor composite, sitting in the NEUTRAL band. FSBW is +2.71% on the day and -4.26% over five sessions as of the most recent tick. NEUTRAL (40-54) means the six factors cancel each other. FSBW doesn't lean directionally on the composite right now. That's not bad — it's the band where you'd come back next week to see if any single factor breaks out of the equilibrium. FSBW's strongest factor is Momentum at 90/100 — very strong short-horizon price acceleration (rate of change, RSI position, MACD posture, recent breakout structure). High momentum needs trend confirmation to mean anything; without it, momentum mean-reverts hard. The weakest factor is Fundamentals at 25/100 — well below average balance-sheet and earnings-quality. A low fundamentals score is the canonical "value trap" warning: technical setups on broken fundamentals don't tend to compound.

Is FSBW a buy?

Where can I see the historical track record for Tapeline scores?
+
Every Tapeline top-10 daily pick is auto-published with the next-day return vs SPY at /scorecard. The scorecard is immutable — every call is preserved with its original context for accountability.
What does the NEUTRAL signal mean for FSBW?
+
NEUTRAL is a descriptive band on the Tapeline composite. HIGH CONVICTION (85-100) means all six factors aligned; STRONG SETUP (70-84) typically four-or-five-of-six; CONSTRUCTIVE (55-69) net-positive with tradeoffs; NEUTRAL (40-54) factors cancel; CAUTION (25-39) more negative than positive; WEAK (0-24) broadly negative. FSBW sitting at NEUTRAL means the data right now reads as neutral for the six-factor profile.
Is FSBW better for swing trading or day trading?
+
The Tapeline composite is calibrated for multi-day setups — the heaviest weights (Trend 25%, RS 20%, Fundamentals 15%) reward stability over a horizon of days-to-weeks. For pure day trading, the 1-day move + sub-momentum factor is more relevant. Use /best-stocks-for/day-traders for the day-trader-sorted view and /best-stocks-for/swing-traders for the multi-day setup view.
Where does FSBW rank in the financials sector?
+
FSBW's sector rank within the financials sector updates live as composite scores re-tick during US market hours — see the rank line near the top of this page. Sector ranks are computed across the actively-scored universe (~2,500 US tickers by daily $-volume) so the cohort is consistent across all the financials sector names Tapeline covers.
Does Tapeline have insider buying data for FSBW?
+
FSBW's Smart Money sub-score (15% of the composite) blends SEC Form 4 insider transactions, Congressional disclosures where applicable, and ETF/institutional flow signals. Detailed Form 4 history per ticker is a Premium feature; the aggregate Smart Money sub-score is shown on this page for free.
Why does FSBW's score change between visits?
+
Scores re-tick every minute during US market hours. Trend and Relative Strength move with price; Momentum reflects recent rate-of-change; Macro responds to VIX, breadth, and 10Y yield shifts; Smart Money updates on filing cadence; Fundamentals on quarterly earnings cycle. Across a single trading session FSBW's composite can drift 5-15 points in either direction even without major news — that's normal factor breathing, not data error.
Can I get alerts when FSBW's score changes?
+
Yes — Pro tier gets email alerts on configurable triggers (score crosses a threshold, signal label changes, squeeze detected). Premium adds Telegram unlimited and Congressional-trade alerts. The free tier covers the top 20 tickers with a 24-hour delay; FSBW score alerts specifically require Pro or Premium since FSBW may not be in the top 20.
How does FSBW's Tapeline Score compare to a Finviz screener result?
+
Finviz exposes raw filter fields — you build a thesis from the data. Tapeline synthesises six factors into one composite + a plain-English Why, so the work is done before you look at the row. Both are useful for different jobs: Finviz Elite for power-user raw-filter scans, Tapeline for daily synthesised rankings + per-pick public scorecard. Many traders use both — see /best-finviz-alternatives for the head-to-head comparison.
