Perched Near Highs Following Recent Technical Breakout

Lemaitre Vascular Inc (LMAT -$0.15 or -0.62% to $24.09) remains perched near its all-time high while consolidating above its "max buy" level. It found support near prior highs in the $22 area when pulling back after its 11/09/16 technical breakout. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. It was last shown in this FSU section on 11/09/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Technical Breakout Backed By +151% Above Average Volume ". It was first highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/20/16 high plus 10 cents in the 10/27/16 mid-day report (read here). 

The high-ranked Medical - Products firm recently reported earnings +55% on +22% sales revenues for the Sep '16 quarter, marking its 3rd consecutive quarter above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), helping it better match the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines. Earnings rose +18%, +38%, +40% and +55% in the Dec '15, Mar, Jun, and Sep '16 quarters, respectively, demonstrating encouraging sales revenues and earnings acceleration. Sales revenues rose +10%, +7%, +13% and +20% over that same span. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been steadily improving since a downturn in FY '11.

Its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication that its shares were under accumulation over the past 50 days, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The number of top-rated funds owning its share rose from 184 in Dec '15 to 197 in Sep '16. Its small supply of 13.1 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

G - Rallied for its second-best close ever today. Consolidating above its 50 DMA line ($45.27).

Reported earnings +10% on +6% sales revenues for the Sep '16 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising concerns.
