Most Recent Note - 10/5/2020 12:35:10 PM Y - Reversed into the red today after early gains into new high territory. Color code was recently changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 8/04/20 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are still needed to trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Recent rebound above its 50 DMA line ($113.76) helped its outlook to improve. Any losses below the 50 DMA line and latest low ($101.30 on 9/21/20) would raise greater concerns and trigger worrisome technical sell signals. Reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings +21% on +4% sales revenues, breaking a streak of 4 comparisons above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria).
