RAVN - NASDAQ - ELECTRONICS - Printed Circuit Boards Raven Industries	$54.00	+0.47 0.88%	$54.67	$56.55	-4.51%	51,259 90.09%	56,900
Most Recent Note for RAVN - 3/18/2011 12:31:14 PM Perched -4.7% off its 52-week high today. Holding its ground stubbornly despite recent distributional pressure. The 4 latest quarterly comparisons showed strong sales revenues and earnings increases (satisfying the C criteria) after a streak of negative comparisons. A downward turn in FY '10 earnings is a flaw with respect to the annual earnings history (A criteria) guidelines. Low consensus earnings estimates for FY '12 and FY '13 are additional concerns
