Most Recent Note - 9/25/2018 12:46:07 PM Y - Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 6/20/18 high plus 10 cents. Quickly rebounding after a choppy consolidation with volume-driven gains challenging its all-time high. Subsequent gains for a new high (N criteria) above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Reported Jun '18 quarterly earnings +73% on +36% sales revenues. The past 7 quarterly comparisons had earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Downturn in FY '14 annual earnings (A criteria) history was noted as a concern, yet its growth rate afterward has been great.
