CRL growth rate in TK vs. TS

Hi all,
I am considering whether to recommend CRL [Charles River Labs] to my investment club.
When I check it out in Take Stock here online it gets "bad marks" because of low growth rate in sales - the hx growth rate shown on the Tecnhamental front sheet is 4.7%.
In TK, sales growth is 21.2% for 2000 on [started trading in 2000] and 18.7% if I just look at the last 5 yrs.
I checked and the sales data in TS is identical to what I have in TK.
What gives?
Thanks.

The difference is in how you interpret the data. Take Stock gives more weight to recent data than it does to long ago data. It also aggressively eliminates outliers to compute what it thinks are "RELEVANT" growth rates.
In this case, it looks like Take Stock has eliminated all years except for 2005, 2006, and 2007. If you do that in Toolkit, you will get the 4.7 and 8.5 numbers that are also shown in Take Stock.
I guess the real question for you is: does the future for CRL look more like that last 3 fiscal years, or more like years before 2005.

Makes sense - and I have to think about the implications for the future.
