When combined with fundamental growth measures, like quickening profits, growing profit margins, and steady revenue gains, this two-part study seeks to locate companies not just in strong price movements but also showing basic business momentum. This joining of technical and fundamental force is made to find equities with possibility for continued superior returns.

From a technical view, FIX meets all main Trend Template standards, which is basic to Minervini's plan for finding stocks in a confirmed Stage 2 climb. The present price of $709.83 trades well over its rising 150-day ($472.74) and 200-day ($471.14) simple moving averages, confirming a solid long-term bullish trend. The 50-day moving average at $609.44 is located over both longer-term averages, showing good near-term momentum is supporting the longer-term upward movement. Also, the stock's price is about 157% over its 52-week low of $276.44 and within 3.2% of its 52-week high of $733.25, matching the template's need that leaders trade close to new highs. A strong relative performance rank of 94.99 shows FIX is doing better than nearly 95% of the market, a main point Minervini stresses for finding real market leaders.

The high-growth momentum part is also notable, supported by a group of quickening basic measures. Earnings per Share (EPS) for the trailing twelve months is at $19.46, showing a 66% year-over-year growth.

The company has surpassed EPS guesses in all of the last four quarters, with an average surprise of 18.4%, showing its skill to regularly beat guesses, a feature that often pulls institutional notice and pushes further price gains.

Revenue growth gives another point of force, with a 26.3% year-over-year rise on a TTM basis. The newest quarter had sales grow by 20.1%, keeping a pattern of solid top-line growth. This steady growth is shown in analyst feeling, as shown by a notable 18.5% upward change to next year's EPS guesses over the past three months. Profit margins have also been growing, with the last quarter showing a margin of 10.62%, up from 9.24% the prior quarter and a large gain over the full-year margin of 7.43% from the year before. This margin growth points to better operational efficiency and pricing control, both signs of a high-quality growth company.
