Perched near its all-time high after volume-driven gains this week. Reported earnings +59% on +9% sales revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2018 versus the year ago period. Fundamental concerns remain. Last noted in the 12/01/14 mid-day report - "Quarterly sales revenues and earnings history has not been steady, and its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is a concern.

Following a "negative reversal" on 3/27/18 after touching a new all-time high it violated its 50 DMA line ($124.58) with more damaging volume-driven losses.

Its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a great match with the fact-based investment system's strict guidelines. Completed a new Public Offering on 12/14/16 and went through a long and choppy consolidation. It completed a Secondary Offering on 6/24/14."
