Major Indices Rose With Positive Breadth and Greater Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow jumped 211 points, while the S&P 500 rose 1.5%. The Nasdaq Composite rallied 2.6% to end above 13,000 for the first time as Tech shares staged a rebound after coming under pressure during Wednesday’s session. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session volume totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by almost a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 160 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 143 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and easily outnumbered new 52-week lows totals which were in the single digits 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 S&P Index posted a big gain for a new record high.
All three U.S. major averages closed at fresh all-time highs on Thursday, as investors focused on prospects for additional fiscal stimulus. The results of the special runoff election in Georgia revealed Democrats won both Senate seats, giving the party a majority in both chambers of Congress. Further, President Trump called for a peaceful transfer of power, following turmoil on Capitol Hill.
Economic data also boosted sentiment, with a report from the Institute for Supply Management showing activity in the U.S. services sector expanded at a faster-than-anticipated pace in December. A separate release revealed weekly initial jobless claims unexpectedly fell to 787,000 in the week ending January 2 from the prior upwardly revised 790,000 figure. Treasuries declined, with the yield on the 10-year note rising five basis points to 1.08%.
Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory, with Technology stocks pacing the gains. The Financials group was another notable advancer, as banks climbed with Treasury yields. In earnings, Constellation Brands (STZ +2.30%) rose after the company authorized a $2 billion share repurchase program following a better-than-expected earnings report. Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA +5.18%) rose after topping Wall Street's earnings and revenue projections and reiterating its prior 2021 forecast. In other corporate news, DXC Technology (DXCT +9.30%) jumped following reports France’s Atos made a takeover offer of more than $10 billion for the IT company. |

Rebounded After Undercutting Prior Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Shopify Inc Cl A (SHOP +$72.22 or +6.64% to $1,159.53) rebounded today repairing a big loss on the prior session with a solid gain on higher (near average) volume. The prompt support came after a brief slump below prior highs in the $1,146-1,130 area, falling back into the prior base, raised concerns. Its recent low and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($1,051) define important near-term support to watch.
SHOP was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/01/20 high plus 10 cents in the 12/15/20 mid-day report (read here). It was shown in greater detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Volume-Driven Gain for New High After Long Consolidation", as it hit a new all-time high with a big gain backed by +117% above average volume while rising from a 15-week base. The gain and strong close above its pivot point clinched a convincing technical buy signal.
It reported Sep '20 quarterly earnings of $1.13 per share versus a loss of 29 cents per share on +96% sales revenues versus the year ago period. The Ontario, Canada-based Computer Software - Enterprise firm's prior quarters showed big earnings increases well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) with very strong underlying sales revenues growth. After years of losses it had strong earnings growth in FY '17-19 (A criteria).
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,151 in Sep '19 to 1,609 in Sep '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a C Timeliness rating and an A Sponsorship Rating. There are 121.9 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. |

Y - Posted a 3rd consecutive gain today with near average volume hitting a new all-time high. 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 help clinch a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($239) has been acting as support. Reported Sep '20 quarterly earnings +38% on +11% sales revenues versus the year ago period, above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

A subsequent gain and new high close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume is needed to reconfirm a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong.
