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.

Finished strong on the prior session after highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 6/07/21 high plus 10 cents. Gapped up rebounding above its 50 DMA line with heavy volume behind the gain helping its outlook to improve as it was noted - "Subsequent gains above the pivot point with volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong. Bullish action came after it reported Jun '21 quarterly earnings +100% on +49% sales revenues."

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/12/21 high plus 10 cents. Posting a 5th consecutive volume-driven gain, rallying from support at its 200 DMA line and challenging its 52-week high. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Reported Mar '21 quarterly earnings +50% on +53% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 4th strong quarterly comparison (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has improved in recent years, helping it match with the fundamental guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Y - Posting a 2nd consecutive gain today challenging its high after finding support at its 50 DMA line ($448) last week. Reported Jun '21 quarterly earnings +66% on +40% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Recent losses have tested prior highs in the $449-444 range and its 50 DMA line which define important support. More damaging losses would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.

Most Recent Note for ALGN - 7/26/2021 11:59:58 AM
Pulled back last week retesting support near its 50 DMA line ($604). Reported earnings +241% on +62% sales revenues for the Mar '21 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd strong comparison with earning growth well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). A downturn in FY '20 earnings from the prior year is a small flaw in its impressive annual earnings (A criteria) history.
