Interesting New 52-Week Highs

Scanning the 52-week high list today has peaked my interest for the first time in a few days. There are a number of stocks I felt are worth mentioning.

Titan Machinery ($TITN) - Sells agriculture and construction equipment and reported blockbuster earnings. The company guided next fiscal year earnings between $2.55 and $2.75. Based on the median estimate the stock is trading with a forward P/E ratio of 12.1 even after the 15% rally today.

EPAM Systems ($EPAM) - An IT services outsourcing company that went public in early February continues to surge to new highs. The company trades with a PEG ratio of 0.67 - very attractive fundamentally and technically.

Companhia Energetica de Minas Gerais ($CIG) - The Brazilian electric utility company has one of the best charts in the country and is now reaching new highs. The 4.3% dividend is a major bonus.

Mattress Firm Holdings ($MFRM) - An operator or mattress stores the went public in November of last year. Up 20% today to a new high and is up well over 100% the close on its first day of trading. I just bought a new mattress - and they are not cheap!!
