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 - Today's strongest
candidates
highlighted
by our staff
of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and
now may no longer be buyable
under the guidelines.

Y - Touched a new all-time high with above average volume behind today's gain. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Losses below the 50 DMA line ($37.40) and prior low ($34.08 on 5/05/17) would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals. Reported Jun '17 quarterly earnings +35% on +27% sales revenues, continuing its strong earnings track record. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.

G - Color code was changed to green while slumping below its 50 DMA line ($61.33). Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve.

Due to report Jun '17 quarterly earnings before the open on Wednesday, 8/09/17.
