It trades a little over 700,000 shares a day.• The stock's Earnings Per Share Rating is 95, but earnings growth has been a little erratic in recent quarters. Look for consistent quarterly earnings growth of 25% or higher.• Mutual fund ownership held steady in the most recent quarter, after dropping prior to that. Many stocks saw declining fund ownership in the bear market, but going forward, you'd like to see more funds buying in.• Return on equity is strong, at 20%. Cash flow per share also looks good. At $4.32, it's more than 20% above earnings per share in the most recent fiscal year. Keep in mind: Cash flow per share is a secondary measure of fundamental strength.• Jos. A.
