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.

Most Recent Note - 2/12/2024 12:54:30 PM
Y - Hitting a new all-time high with today's 4th consecutive gain backed by ever-increasing volume. Finished strong and managed a best-ever close after highlighted in yellow in the 2/09/24 mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 1/24/24 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains and a close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a conviciing new technical buy signal. Through Dec '23 its quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong, a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Thinly traded firm has only 5.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Reported earnings +35% on +14% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, versus the year-ago period, its 5th strong quarter. Fundamental concerns remain with regard to the fact-based investment system's guidelines after annual earnings had a downturn in FY '19 and '20.

Perched at its 52-week high today while adding to a noted streak of small gains backed by above-average volume. Bullish action came after it reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +51% on +14% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 4th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline. This Spanish banking firm's annual earnings growth has been strong after a downturn in FY '20.

Most Recent Note for DDOG - 2/12/2024 12:30:44 PM
Due to report Dec '23 quarterly results. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Perched at its 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive gain. Found support above its 50 DMA line ($123) during recent consolidations. Faces some resistance due to old overhead supply up to the $184 level. Patient investors may watch for a new base or secondary buy point to possibly develop in the weeks ahead. Reported Sep '23 quarterly earnings +96% on +25% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, and 3 of the 4 latest quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong since completing its $27 IPO on 9/19/19.

Israel-based maker of circuit boards is extended from any sound base and hitting new multi-year highs with above-average volume behind today's big 3rd consecutive gain. On 1/17/24 it broke out of a 5-week base. Reported Sep '23 quarterly earnings +112% on +15% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Its 50 DMA line ($15.76) defines important near-term support. Earnings increases in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) but fundamental concerns remain after a downturn in FY '22 earnings (A criteria).

Due to report Dec '23 quarterly results on 2/24/24. Perched at its 52-week high churning heavy volume without making meaningful price progress after holding its ground stubbornly in recent weeks. Prior mid-day reports noted - "No resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Reported Sep '23 quarterly earnings +50% on +10% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Prior quarterly comparisons were subpar and fundamental concerns remain."

Slumping for a 4th consecutive volume-driven loss today after violating its 50 DMA line ($37) on the prior session with a damaging volume-driven loss, abruptly retreating from its 52-week high. Reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +83% on +12% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 3rd strong quarter. After a downturn in FY '22 its annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a match with the fundamental guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Perched at its 52-week high today while on track for a 5th consecutive gain. Due to report Dec '23 quarterly results on 2/13/24. Gradually wedged higher and found support at its 50 DMA line ($78.44) since noted with caution in the 11/28/23 mid-day report - "Reported Sep '23 quarterly earnings of 24 cents per share versus a loss of 2 cents per share on +25% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 2nd strong quarter. Prior quarterly comparisons and annual earnings history is below the fundamental guidelines (C and A criteria) of the fact-based investment system.

Hitting a new 52-week high today after holding its ground stubbornly following recently noted volume-driven gains. This Turkish telecom firm reported improved results in 3 of the 4 latest quarterly comparisons through Sep '23 above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). However, it has a subpar annual earnings history (A criteria) after a downturn in FY '21, and consensus estimates call for -14% lower earnings in FY '23.
