CMCM - NYSE Cheetah Mobile Inc	$34.37	+1.29 3.89%	$35.67	1,141,650 82.19% of 50 DAV 50 DAV is 1,389,000	$36.63 -6.18%	6/24/2015	$34.37	PP = $36.73 MB = $38.57
Most Recent Note - 6/24/2015 12:42:20 PM Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 5/20/15 high while building a flat base. Still perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high following a volume-driven gain when last noted with caution on 6/18/15 in the mid-day report, and it has now built a short flat base of sufficient length. Recent lows define near-term support in the $30 area above its 50 DMA line ($28.97) where violations would raise concerns. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Reported earnings +80% on +113% sales revenues for the Mar '15 quarter and it has shown strong quarterly earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Limited annual earnings (A criteria) history is a concern, while it has made choppy progress since its $14 IPO on 5/08/14. There are no Featured Stock Updates™ available for this stock at this time.
