Most Recent Note for ABM - 10/23/2013 11:56:42 AM Perched at 52-week highs after volume-driven gains recently helped it rally from an orderly base. Quarterly earnings and sales revenues growth history is below guidelines. Current earnings per share should be up +25% or more and in many cases accelerating in recent quarters. Quarterly sales should also be up +18-25% or more or accelerating over prior quarters. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has also been lackluster.

A downturn in FY '09 earnings is a flaw with respect to the A criteria of the investment system."
