Most Recent Note for FB - 1/29/2020 11:56:27 AM Perched within striking distance of its all-time high, extended from any sound base. Reported earnings +20% on +29% sales revenues for the Sep '19 quarter, its 5th consecutive quarterly comparison below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). 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 4,413 top-rated mutual funds as of Dec '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.
