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

of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Y - Hitting a new all-time high with today's 3rd consecutive gain backed by increasing volume. Color code was changed to yellow while rising near prior highs as it was noted - "Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a proper technical buy signal. Rebounded above its 50 DMA line ($36.32) with a gap up on the prior session. Prior low ($32 30) defines the next important near-term support to watch. Fundamentals remain strong."

Most Recent Note for SC - 8/25/2021 12:28:14 PM
There was M&A news on 8/24/21 while holding its ground in a tight range near its all-time high since a noted gap up on 7/02/21. Reported strong Jun '21 quarterly earnings versus a loss on +4% sales revenues over the year ago period. Prior quarterly earnings increases were well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) but sub par sales revenues growth remains a concern, fundamentally. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong following a downturn in FY '17. Went through a long and deep consolidation since its $24 IPO on 1/23/14.

Today's 5th consecutive gain with increasing volume has it challenging its all-time high after staying above its 50 DMA line ($463) during the recent consolidation. Reported earnings +87% on +47% sales revenues for the Jun '21 quarter versus the year ago period, its 4th strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) with impressive acceleration in its sales revenues growth rate. Fundamental concerns remain because its annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a great match with the fact-based system.
