Most Recent Note for MNRO - 2/14/2012 12:39:49 PM Holding its ground near its all-time high with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply.

Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth rate has been good in recent years. But in 6 of its 8 most recent quarterly earnings comparisons there are blue triangles beside the earnings figure on the chart service used by our experts - which indicates pre-tax, non-recurring items were included (where possible, such items are normally removed to provide data better suited for comparison)."
