More details about this report...
At around
mid-way through each trading day we run
a screen against our database of
high-ranked stocks, searching for
possible buy candidates that are trading
at or near their 52-week high on above
average volume. The results of that
screen are split into the two sections
you see below. The first, titled
"TODAY's FEATURED STOCKS" shows stocks
that our experts have recently
identified as among the strongest candidates to
consider. Stocks highlighted in yellow
are the most timely and noteworthy, so
particular attention and prompt action
may be appropriate. The second section,
titled "TODAY's BREAKOUT SCREEN" shows
the remainder of stocks meeting today's
screen parameters. Our experts have
reviewed and included notes on these
stocks as well, but found that they may
not match up as favorably.

Y - Today's strongest
candidates
highlighted

of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and
now may no longer be buyable
under the guidelines.

Most Recent Note for AGYS - 1/17/2025 12:25:32 PM
Retreating from near its all-time high with today's volume-driven loss undercutting its 50 DMA line ($130). It still may be building a sound base. Reported Sep '24 quarterly earnings +36% on +16% versus the year-ago period. Three of the 4 latest quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth has been strong (A criteria).

Most Recent Note for BCS - 1/17/2025 12:27:33 PM
Gapped up today adding to the prior gap up noted on 1/06/25, hitting another new 52-week high. Showing resilience and strength after a brief slump below its 50 DMA line ($13.32). Prior mid-day reports noted - "The 50 DMA had previously acted as support on recent pullbacks. Reported Sep '24 quarterly earnings +42% on +15% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Prior 4 quarterly earnings comparisons were down from the year-ago periods. Erratic annual earnings history (A criteria) remains a concern."

Powering to new multi-year highs with today's 5th consecutive gain marked by above-average volume. Reported Sep '24 quarterly earnings +20% on +18% sales revenues versus the year ago period.

Most Recent Note for TSM - 1/17/2025 12:47:48 PM
Challenged its all-time high on the prior session after a big gap up as it posted a 3rd consecutive volume-driven gain since finding support above its 50 DMA line ($198) again. Reported Dec '24 quarterly earnings +47% on +30% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 3rd strong quarter above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history had a downturn in FY '23, breaking a streak of strong and steady growth. Large supply of 5.18 billion outstanding shares (S criteria) makes it an unlikely sprinter.

Most Recent Note for VLGEA - 1/17/2025 12:48:58 PM
Consolidating above its 50 DMA line ($35) after finding support recently at its 200 DMA line ($29.82). Reported Oct '24 quarterly earnings +10% on +4% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Subpar sales revenues growth and lackluster quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) growth history remain concerns, fundamentally. Small supply of only 5.6 million shares in its trading float can contribute to greater price volatility.
