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.

Y - Today's strongest
candidates

this report as yellow and

Most Recent Note for BCS - 12/18/2024 1:34:05 PM
Pulled back from its 52-week high with a small gap down on the prior session. It is extended from any sound base. Reported Sep '24 quarterly earnings +42% on +15% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Prior 4 quarterly earnings comparisons were down from the year-ago periods. Erratic annual earnings history (A criteria) remains a concern.

Perched at its all-time high following M&A news after a noted streak of weekly gains. Reported strong Sep '24 quarterly results but its prior quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) has not been a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.
