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 - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 2/09/24 high plus 10 cents. Hitting a new 52-week high with today's volume-driven gain triggering a technical buy signal after finding prompt support at its 50 DMA line ($615.57) in recent weeks. Reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +59% on +24% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 6th consecutive quarterly comparison well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong. Faces some resistance due to old overhead supply up to the $866 level.

Most Recent Note for CRM - 4/4/2024 12:20:31 PM
Testing support at its 50 DMA line ($296) while building on a 5-week base and perched within striking distance of its all-time high. Reported Jan '24 quarterly earnings +36% on +11% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 5th strong quarterly comparison. Went through a deep consolidation from its all-time high since noted with caution in the 12/01/21 mid-day report. Large supply of 970 million shares outstanding (S criteria) makes it an unlikely sprinter, and it is already owned by more than 4,781 top-rated funds (I criteria). There was a downturn in its FY '22 annual earnings (A criteria) history.

Powering to a new 52-week high and touching a new all-time high with today's 2nd consecutive volume-driven gain. Sub par sale revenues growth and its erratic annual earnings (A criteria) history are not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

Gapped up today for a new high. On track for a 9th consecutive weekly gain as volume-driven gains helped it abruptly rally to new 52-week highs and it stubbornly held its ground. Reported earnings +124% on +0% sales revenues for the Dec '23 quarter versus the year-ago period. Quarterly earnings have been above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) but sequential comparisons showed worrisome deceleration in sales revenues growth. After a downturn in FY '20 earnings (A criteria) its annual earning growth has been strong.

Posting a solid volume-driven gain today rebounding toward its 52-week high after a brief consolidation. Recent quarterly comparisons through Dec '23 have been well above the fact-based system's +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

Prior mid-day reports noted - "Reported strong Sep and Dec '23 quarterly earnings results versus the year-ago periods. Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been erratic and included a downturn in FY '22, not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines."
