5/8/2015 12:47:15 PM - Challenging its 52-week high with 2 consecutive volume-driven gains from support at its 50 DMA line. Reported earnings +43% on -1% sales revenues for the Mar '15 quarter. Annual earnings history (A criteria) has not been steady and strong over the past 3-5 years.
7/21/2011 12:34:47 PM - Churned above average volume while not making meaningful price progress, a sign of distributional pressure, yet stubbornly holding its ground since its 7/13/11 gap up and volume-driven gain for new 52-week and all-time highs.

The number of top-rated funds (the I criteria) owning its shares fell from 242 in Dec '10 to 228 in Mar '11, but the numbers had previously been on the rise. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Found support near prior lows in the $20 area and stayed well above its 200 DMA line during its orderly consolidation since reaching its all-time high in April. Recent quarterly comparisons showed greatly improved sales revenues and earnings but its annual earnings history (A criteria) has not been showing steady strong growth."
