Hitting a new 52-week high with today's 8th consecutive gain. Found prompt support after briefly undercutting prior highs in the $174 area and testing support at its 50 DMA line while recently enduring distributional pressure. Reported earnings +45% on +17% sales revenues for the Sep '14 quarter but fundamental concerns remain. Prior mid-day reports cautioned members - "Held its ground following a gap up gain on 4/22/14 following an unsolicited bid from Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX). Reported earnings +24% on +17% sales revenues for the Jun '14 quarter. Its annual earnings growth has been steady. Quarterly earnings comparisons have been below the +25% guideline."

Perched at its 52-week high today. Reported earnings +45% on +30% sales revenues for the Sep '14 quarter, but fundamental concerns remain. Volume-driven gains in an impressive spurt helped it rally clear of overhead supply from a riskier "late stage" base, however prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned members - "Completed a new Public Offering on 6/27/14. Reported earnings +32% on +12% sales revenues for the Jun '14 quarter, but fundamental concerns remain. Earnings increases have been near or above the +25% minimum (C criteria) guideline in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons, however a downturn in FY '10 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria."
