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.

Most Recent Note for DDOG - 2/13/2024 2:43:15 PM
Reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +69% on +20% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Pulling back from its 52-week high with today's 2nd consecutive volume-driven loss. Found support above its 50 DMA line ($123) during recent consolidations. 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.

Reported Dec '22 quarterly earnings +69% on +26% sales revenues versus the year ago period, continuing a streak of strong quarterly comparisons above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). The downturn in FY '20 earnings (A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's strict fundamental guidelines.
