Most Recent Note for ABG - 10/22/2013 11:59:40 AM Reversed into the red after early gains today challenged its 52-week high, testing its 50 DMA line again which recently acted as support. Reported earnings +26% on +17% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter. Earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) are encouraging, fundamentally, but a big downturn in FY '08 and '09 earnings was noted as a flaw concerning the A criteria of the fact-based investment system.
