Further due diligence confirms the company meets 8 out of 10 GeoBargain criteria. However, the company does not meet the minimum 30% earnings per share (EPS) growth threshold .
Given that it beat analyst estimates, the GeoTeam ® will need to access the company's outlook to determine if it can achieve 30% EPS growth, . We will also monitor any changes in analyst estimates. If it becomes apparent that 30% EPS growth is currently unachievable we will re-code the stock as a GeoSpecial based on its low tax adjusted PEG Ratio (~.55).
