Hit another new all-time high today. The 4/27/11 mid-day report noted - "Technically broke out on 4/14/11 from a base-on-base pattern. No overhead supply exists to act as resistance.The company has a strong annual earnings history (A criteria). The C criteria has not been well satisfied by +25% earnings increases in quarterly comparisons.
Blue triangles beside the quarterly earnings figure in at least the past 8 comparisons indicate pre-tax, non-recurring items were included (where possible, such items are normally removed to provide data better suited for comparison). The restaurant operator survived but failed to impress as it went through several long and very deep corrections since it was dropped from the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks List on 8/15/2007."

Reported earnings +31% on +20% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, so its 3 latest quarterly comparisons have earnings increases above the +25% guideline. It has earned high ranks after demonstrating strong steady annual earnings (A criteria) growth. This Denmark-based Medical - Ethical Drug firm also has seen the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 152 in Mar '10 to 196 in Mar '11, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.
