It touched a new high and posted a big gain backed by +144% above average volume. AROC found support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line during an orderly 6-week flat base.

Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong after a loss in FY '20. It hails from the OilandGas-Machinery/Equip group which is currently ranked 48th on the 197 Industryu Groups List (L criteria).

There are 156.3 million shares (S criteria) outstanding. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose frm 380 in Jun '23 to 434 in Mar '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
