The news kept SNDA shares cycling through a positive two-month trading channel. The price is currently consolidating near the base of that channel, where oversold Stochastic and CCI technical parameters suggest the potential for a rise back toward the top. The close correspondence of the stock's 50-day moving average to the channel base backs the rebound notion.

Altogether, brokers now recommend the issue with five "strong buys", nine "buys" and three "holds". Recent price targets are in the $33-$39 range. Analysts see a 29% average annual growth rate, through the next five years. The SNDA P/E ratio (12.82), Price to Cash Flow ratio (10.89), Sales Growth rate (48.41%), EPS Growth rate (33.33%), Operating Margin (39.52%), Net Profit Margin (37.23%), Return on Assets (19.61%), Return on Investment (30.55%) and Return on Equity (30.41%) compare favorably with industry, sector and S&P 500 averages. Institutions hold about 18% of the outstanding shares. Over the past 52 weeks, the stock has traded between $20.85 and $40.71. A stop-loss of $23.00 looks good here.
