Volume Totals Cooling While Consolidating Above Prior Highs

BioTelemetry Inc (BEAT +$0.20 or +0.89% to $22.70) is consolidating near its "max buy" level with volume totals cooling. Disciplined investors know to never chase stocks and buy them more than +5% above prior highs, and to preserve capital they always sell any stock that falls more than -8% from their purchase price. 

Prior highs in the $21-22 area define initial support to watch above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($20.17). Volume totals have generally been cooling since it was last shown in this FSU section on 12/19/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Breakaway Gap Technically Clears 11-Week V Shaped Base". It was first highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 10/05/16 high plus 10 cents in the 12/19/16 mid-day report (read here). 

It finished strong with +350% above average volume behind its gain after gapping up hitting a new 52-week high (N criteria). It rose from an 11-week "V shaped pattern, which is not as ideal as a more orderly base pattern.  During its consolidation it found prompt support near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line, a reassuring sign that institutional owners stepped up near that long-term average.

It has the highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99, well above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Its quarterly and annual earnings history is a good match with the C and A criteria. Earnings per share rose +200%, +233%, +67%, and +62% in the Dec '15, Mar, Jun and Sep '16 quarters, respectively. During that same span the sales revenues increases were +7%, +12%, +18%, and +22%, showing encouraging acceleration.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 194 in Dec '15 to 261 in Sep '16.Increasing ownership by top-rated funds is a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria, and it has a small supply (S criteria) of only 28.2 million shares outstanding.

Repeatedly noted with caution in prior reports - "Reported earnings +10% on +6% sales revenues for the Sep '16 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising concerns." See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
