Dear twheel,

MGP Ingredients Inc (MGPI) does not meet Enterprising Criterion #4, earnings higher than that of 4 years ago.

Thank you for your question!

I see, thank you. What’s the best way to see historical earnings? BTW, the enterprising criterion link says “more than those of 1966.”

Dear twheel,

The implementation of that criterion is explained in the note under the list of Enterprising criteria.

Kindly go through the Quick Reference, and the video tutorials in it, for details.

Thank you for your question!
