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

Rallying to a new 52-week high with today's gain adding to a streak of volume-driven gains. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.

Most Recent Note for DDOG - 2/2/2024 1:16:44 PM
Challenging its 52-week high with today's gap up gain after finding support above its 50 DMA line ($120.55). Faces some resistance due to old overhead supply up to the $184 level. Patient investors may watch for a new base or secondary buy point to possibly develop in the weeks ahead. Reported Sep '23 quarterly earnings +96% on +25% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, and 3 of the 4 latest quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong since completing its $27 IPO on 9/19/19.
