Leadership Thinned While Major Indices Posted Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow climbed 167 points while the S&P 500 rose 0.7%. The Nasdaq Composite jumped 1%. The volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session volume totals on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by an 11-4 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 50 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 59 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet easily outnumbered the single-digit new 52-week lows totals on both exchanges. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions based based on the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index remains perched near its record high. Recent losses on higher volume indicated distributional pressure.

Stocks advanced on Tuesday, as investors awaited results from the special runoff election in Georgia which will decide control of the United States Senate for the next two years. The gains followed a retreat on Monday, which saw the S&P 500 notch its largest daily decline since October and the worst start to a year since 2016 as investors monitored election uncertainty and increasing COVID-19 concerns.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory, with Real Estate the lone laggard. The Energy group paced the gains with a 4.5% uptick as WTI crude briefly traded above $50/barrel for the first time since February. Exxon Mobile Corp (XOM +4.82%) posted a solid gain and exceeded its December high intra-day. The rally came after Saudi Arabia pledged to cut its output by an extra 1 million barrels a day through March, while other members of OPEC+ held production levels at or slightly above current levels. In corporate news, Micron Technology (MU +4.33%) rose after the chipmaker was the subject of an analyst upgrade.

On the data front, an update from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) revealed that U.S. manufacturing activity unexpectedly ticked up to 60.7 in December, the fastest pace since 2018. The report was well above the projected 56.8 reading and November's 57.5 expansion. Treasuries declined, with the yield on the 10-year note adding four basis points to 0.95%. Meanwhile, COMEX gold edged up 0.3% to $1952.70/ounce after jumping nearly 2.3% on Monday. In FOREX trading, the U.S. dollar slipped 0.4% against a basket of its peers.

Hovering in Tight Range Holding Ground Near High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Charles River Labs Intl (CRL +$2.92 or +1.17% to $252.59) posted a small gain today with light volume while ended 3 cent below its best-ever close. It has been hovering in a tight range near its high, stubbornly holding its ground. The pivot point cited is based on its 11/09/20 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains above its pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($239) has been acting as support.

CRL reported Sep '20 quarterly earnings +38% on +11% sales revenues versus the year ago period, above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Fundamental concerns had been raised when it reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings -3% on +4% sales revenues, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), but the results were better than expected and the company also raised its guidance. It now has a 91 Earnings Per Share Rating, down from 96 prior to the report. The 2 prior quarterly earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based investment system. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and steady.

It hails from the Medical - Research Equipment/Services industry group which currently has a mediocre C(42) Group Relative Strength Rating (L criteria). CRL traded up as much as +29.9% since it was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 6/03/20 high plus 10 cents in the 7/15/20 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 12/14/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating Above 50-Day Moving Average Line".

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 681 in Dec '19 to 808 in Sep '20, and its Up/Down Volume Ratio is 1.0 is an unbiased indication its shares have been neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days. There is a small number of only 49.7 million shares (S criteria) outstanding, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
