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

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Y - Powering above its pivot point to a new all-time high with today's gain while volume is running at an above average pace. Bullish actio came after it reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +34% on +16% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. A gain and strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a proper technical buy signal.

C - Pulling back slightly today. Color code was changed to green after it gapped up on the prior session and rallied to a new all-time high (and above the "max buy" level) with heavy volume triggering a technical buy signal. Reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +16% on +13% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) raising fundamental concerns. Its prior low ($533.70) and 50 DMA line define near-term support to watch.

This well known Finance - Credit Card Payment Processing firm gapped up today and rallied to a new all-time high with a big volume-driven gain. Reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +27% on +15% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 2nd quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

Stubbornly holding its ground while recently wedging to new all-time highs with gains lacking great volume conviction. Reported earnings +50% on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30th, 2023 versus the year ago period and prior quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) included a big downturn in FY '20.

Hitting another new 52-week high with today's 5th consecutive volume-driven gain after consolidating above its 50 DMA line. Reported very strong Dec '23 quarterly earnings on +12% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Through the Sep '23 quarter its earnings increases have been below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), not a match with the winning models of the fact-based investment system. Annual earnings (A criteria) history had a downturn in FY '22. It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/30/20."

Most Recent Note for NOW - 1/26/2024 1:10:29 PM
Extended from any sound base and hitting new all-time highs with 7 consecutive gains marked by volume. Patient investors may watch for a new base or secondary buy point to possibly develop and be noted in the weeks ahead. Reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +36% on +26% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 6th quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based investment system. Went through a deep consolidation since noted with caution in the 10/28/21 mid-day report near its all-time high.

Gapped up today and challenged its 52-week high. Reported Sep '23 quarterly earnings +155% on +11% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 2nd strong quarter.

Most Recent Note for SAP - 1/26/2024 1:14:50 PM
Holding its ground stubbornly after a gap up on 1/24/24 hitting a new all-time high. Found support at its 50 DMA line ($156.50) during the recent consolidation. Reported earnings +48% on +8% sales revenues for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2023 versus the year ago period. Prior quarterly comparisons were below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) had a big doiwnturn in FY '22. It also has a huge supply of 1.17 billion shares outstanding (S criteria), making it less likely to be a good sprinter.
