Glaukos Corporation (GKOS)

GKOS (Glaukos Corporation) currently scores 66/100 with the signal label CONSTRUCTIVE. The score is a weighted blend of six quantitative factors. It is recalculated about every 60 seconds during US market hours, but most of its inputs are daily readings, so it usually changes about once a day. Prices are delayed about 15 minutes.

The Tapeline Score is a transparent weighted blend of six named factors: Trend, Relative Strength, Fundamentals, Smart Money, Macro, and Momentum — weighted most toward Trend and Relative Strength, and least toward Momentum. Each sub-score is normalised to 0-100 and the methodology is published on /how-it-works.

Tapeline doesn't issue buy or sell calls — we publish descriptive analytics, not investment advice. The signal label CONSTRUCTIVE describes the current state of the data; whether GKOS fits your portfolio depends on your risk tolerance, time horizon, and tax situation. See the risk disclosure for details.

GKOS's score is recalculated about every 60 seconds during US market hours and persists between sessions, but it usually changes about once a day: trend, relative strength and momentum come from daily price bars, and prices themselves are delayed about 15 minutes; fundamentals refresh on company filing cadence; insider Form 4 filings are read from SEC EDGAR and re-checked about every two days for stocks (about monthly for ETFs).

Each day's Tapeline top 10 is published with its next-day return vs SPY at /scorecard. Entries are not re-ranked or deleted. We have corrected recorded values twice, and said so: prices on 25 August 2026, and scores from 18 May to 12 June capped on 15 June 2026. No top 10 was recorded for 31 August, 2 September, 4 September or 9 September 2026.

CONSTRUCTIVE 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. GKOS sitting at CONSTRUCTIVE means the data right now reads as constructive for the six-factor profile.

The Tapeline composite is calibrated for multi-day setups — the heaviest-weighted factors (Trend, Relative Strength, and Fundamentals) 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.

GKOS scores in the 88th percentile of Health Care by composite score (n=1,099 covered peers) this session. Peer percentiles are computed across every ticker in the peer group Tapeline holds a composite score for, always print the covered-peer count (n) they were computed against, and move when the peers' scores change, which is usually about once a day.

GKOS's Smart Money sub-score reads disclosed SEC Form 4 insider transactions, netted over a recent window. Detailed Form 4 history per ticker is a Premium feature; the aggregate Smart Money sub-score is shown on this page for free.

Scores are recalculated about every 60 seconds during US market hours, but most inputs are daily readings, so a score usually changes about once a day. Trend, Relative Strength and Momentum come from daily price bars; Macro responds to changes in the market-wide regime classification, whose inputs are daily; Smart Money updates on filing cadence; Fundamentals on the quarterly earnings cycle. This page is also a saved snapshot that can be an hour old or more, so two visits can show different readings.

Yes, on a paid plan — Pro gets email alerts on configurable triggers (score crosses a threshold, market regime changes, news on a ticker), and Premium raises the daily email-alert cap from 10 to 50. Alerts are one of the lines between the plans: the free plan sends none, on any channel. What it does give you is scores on the top 10 scanner rows, one saved screen, a 5-ticker watchlist and 12 look-ups a day, so GKOS alerts specifically need the 30-day Premium trial or a paid plan.

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.
