Most Recent Note for GNRC - 5/6/2013 12:46:44 PM Holding its ground following a 5/02/13 gap up gain, hovering within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Reported earnings +26% on +36% sales for the Mar '13 quarter. It sputtered below its 50 DMA line during its consolidation from its high since noted in the 2/11/13 mid-day report with caution. The 2 prior quarterly comparisons were well below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based system. Consensus estimates calling for FY '13 earnings growth of +6% and FY '14 at 0%, and its currently low P/E valuation (0.7 X SP) both suggest a timid outlook for future growth, which is cause for concern.

Sequentially, prior comparisons showed decelerating sales revenues increases from +131%, +99%, +60%, to +40% in the Mar, Jun, Sep, and Dec '12 quarters, respectively.
