Vonage broke out earlier, but has fallen back below the prior 15.29 entry from a cup with handle. If a stock you're tracking climbs above a buy point then declines 7% or more below the original entry price, it's considered a failed base. It's best to wait for the stock to form a new consolidation and breakout. Also understand that the most recent consolidation is a later-stage base, and such bases are more prone to failure.
In terms of top and bottom line numbers, the company has posted rising EPS growth in each of the last two reports. Sales growth has also risen over the same time frame.
Vonage earns the No. 2 rank among its peers in the Telecom Services-Wireless industry group. Vonage and P D V Wireless are also among the group's highest-rated stocks.
