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 - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 10/05/20 high plus 10 cents. Pulling back today for a 2nd consecutive volume-driven loss after hitting new 52-week highs with volume-driven gains. Subsequent gains above the pivot point with at least +40% above average volume would be a reassuring confirmation of fresh institutional buying demand. Reported earnings +88% on +20% sales revenues for the Mar '21 quarter versus the year ago period, its 7th consecutive strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong after a downturn in FY '15.

After a "negative reversal" at its all-time high, today's 3rd consecutive volume-driven loss has it slumping toward its 50 DMA line ($47.39) which acted as support during its ongoing ascent.
