Most Recent Note - 7/30/2013 1:00:06 PM Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point based on its 7/17/13 high plus 10 cents. Gapped up today and hit a new 52-week high with a considerable gain backed by above average volume, rallying from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base. Reported earnings +64% on +45% sales for the June '13 quarter. Recent quarterly comparisons show impressive sequential acceleration in sales revenues and earnings growth, making it a better match with the C criteria of the fact-based system. Previously noted consensus estimates calling for FY '13 earnings growth of +9% and FY '14 at 0%, and its currently low P/E valuation (0.7 X SP) suggest a timid outlook for future growth, which is cause for some concern.
