Dollar Financial DLLR spent the summer carving out a five-month, cup-shaped base. It's now working on the right side of that pattern and has moved back near its old high.
The company provides check cashing and money-order services, as well as short-term loans.
After scoring triple-digit profit growth gains throughout much of last year, Dollar Financial's earnings growth has cooled in recent quarters. Its earnings rose 30% in the June-ended fourth quarter and are expected to climb 33% in the September-ended first quarter.
Its sales growth ranged from 24% to 27% the past three quarters.
Radiant Systems RADS broke out of a year-and-a-half-long base during the week ended Aug. 17. Due to the turmoil in the stock market, it didn't make much progress. It soon fell into a flat base and it now is trading just above its 16.84 buy point.
The company, which makes point-of-sale and back-office systems for restaurants and gas stations, logged earnings growth gains of 30% to 67% during each of the past five quarters.
