What the score says about IWO right now
iShares Russell 2000 Growth ETF (IWO) currently scores 62/100 on the Tapeline six-factor composite, sitting in the CONSTRUCTIVE band. IWO is +0.25% on the day and -0.41% over five sessions as of the most recent tick. CONSTRUCTIVE (55-69) is the "watchlist tier" — net positive with meaningful tradeoffs. IWO is interesting but not bid up. For value or contrarian setups this is often the most actionable band — quality without the late-stage price-discovery overhead. IWO's strongest factor is Smart Money at 100/100 — a very strong read on insider buying (SEC Form 4), Congressional disclosures, and ETF flows. High Smart Money means people with information edge are aligned with this name. The weakest factor is Momentum at 44/100 — middling short-horizon price action. Low momentum + high trend often marks a base-building phase rather than a topping pattern.

Frequently asked about IWO
What is the Tapeline Score for IWO?
+
IWO (iShares Russell 2000 Growth ETF) currently scores 62/100 with the signal label CONSTRUCTIVE. The score is a weighted blend of six quantitative factors and updates sub-60 seconds during US market hours.
How is IWO's score calculated?
+
The Tapeline Score is a transparent weighted sum: 25% Trend, 20% Relative Strength, 15% Fundamentals, 15% Smart Money, 15% Macro, 10% Momentum. Each sub-score is normalised to 0-100 and the exact formula is published on /how-it-works.
Is IWO a buy?
+
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 IWO fits your portfolio depends on your risk tolerance, time horizon, and tax situation. See the risk disclosure for details.
How often does the IWO score update?
+
IWO's score re-ticks every minute during US market hours and persists between sessions. Price and momentum data refresh sub-60s; fundamentals refresh on company filing cadence; insider Form 4 within hours of SEC filing.
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 CONSTRUCTIVE signal mean for IWO?
+
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. IWO sitting at CONSTRUCTIVE means the data right now reads as constructive for the six-factor profile.
Is IWO 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 IWO rank in the funds & etfs sector?
+
IWO's sector rank within the funds & etfs 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 funds & etfs sector names Tapeline covers.
Does Tapeline have insider buying data for IWO?
+
IWO'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 IWO'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 IWO'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 IWO'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; IWO score alerts specifically require Pro or Premium since IWO may not be in the top 20.
How does IWO'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.
