Trend Assessment

Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: RB3-RB5. McNichols must maintain his current production and usage to reach this ceiling, which is possible given his 66th percentile usage grade. Floor: RB6-RB8. McNichols’ 28th percentile production grade and lack of guaranteed money suggest a lower floor.
