Reported earnings +40% on +14% sales revenues for the Mar '19 quarter. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. A rebound above the 50 DMA line ($125.13) is needed for its outlook to improve. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 4/23/2019.
