It and similar players in the auto-repair arena have shown recent strength while consumers are fixing their old cars and holding off on new car purchases. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth rate has been good in recent years. But in 6 of its 8 most recent quarterly earnings comparisons there are blue triangles beside the earnings figure on the chart service used by our experts - which indicates pre-tax, non-recurring items were included (where possible, such items are normally removed to provide data better suited for comparison)."
