Held its ground and hit another new 52-week high today, very extended from any sound base. Earnings increases in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Jun '18 were above the +25% minimum guideline. Sub par sales revenues growth and up and down prior history (A criteria) is not a great match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

Perched near its all-time high after testing its 50 DMA line with recent volume-driven losses. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Reported earnings +72% on -2% sales revenues for the quarter ended July 31, 2018 versus the year ago period. Fundamental concerns remain. Quarterly sales revenues and earnings history has not been steady, and its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is a concern. Increasing ownership by top-rated funds (I criteria) is a reassuring sign."

Retreating from its all-time high after getting very extended from any sound base. Reported Jun '18 earnings +52% on +21% sales revenues.
