Endured Distributional Pressure After Wedging Higher
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

S V B Financial Group ( SIVB -$3.24 or -1.20% to $267.48) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 1/24/18 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It wedged to new 52-week highs with recent gains lacking great volume conviction after a short flat base. Subsequent gains above the pivot point with at least +40% above average volume may clinch a proper technical buy signal.

Recently it reported earnings +53% on +32% sales revenues for the Dec '17 quarter, marking its 4th consecutive comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), helping it better match the fact-based investment system's guidelines. It has a great annual earnings history (A criteria).

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 761 in Mar '17 to 984 in Dec '17, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has earned a Timeliness rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of C. There are only 52.9 million shares outstanding (S criteria).
