Stock Movement

The stock fell $3.69 per share between May 11, 2012 and May 18, 2012.

Company Fundamental Trends

While last quarter's drop snapped a string of revenue increases, the company will look to right itself during the upcoming earnings period. Revenue rose 6.2% in the second quarter of the last fiscal year, 8.3% in the third quarter of the last fiscal year and 4.5%in the fourth quarter of the last fiscal year before dropping in the first quarter.

Before falling in the first quarter, revenue rose 11.6% in the second quarter of the last fiscal year, 33.1% in the third quarter of the last fiscal year and 27.9% in the fourth quarter of the last fiscal year.
