Impressive annual earnings history (A criteria). Not a good match with most winning models of the fact-based investment system because of its large supply of shares outstanding (S criteria) and it is heavily owned by 4,387 top-rated mutual funds as of Sep '19. That can be problematic in cases where sentiment shifts due to news events. Stocks with a small supply and just beginning to attract the serious interest of institutional investors (I criteria) are considered most ideal.
