Most Recent Note - 11/17/2020 12:44:27 PM Y - Today's volume-driven loss is testing support at its 50 DMA line ($21.73) and more damaging losses would raise concerns. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/09/20 high plus 10 cents. It has formed an advanced "ascending base" marked by 3 pullbacks of 10-20% after a big breakaway gap on 7/24/20. Subsequent gains above the pivot point marked by +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Reported earnings +57% on +14% sales revenues for the Sep '20 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive quarterly earnings comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has improved after a downturn in FY '17. There are no Featured Stock Updates™ available for this stock at this time.
