Comments:

This stock, which currently has an analyst outperform rating, recently reported earnings that beat analysts expectations.   Results for the first quarter came in at 38 cents per share versus the 37 cents per share that the market had expected.   Targets place the value of this equity between $22 and $23, or at least 12% above current levels.   The stock is in a long-term uptrend and was subjected to the same downturn as of recent experienced by all other market participants.   However, this slight variance from the trend has not deterred this stock from climbing back to its upward path.   Seasonal prospects are strongly positive through the summer months for gains reaching 20% by the time October rolls around.
