Major Indices Rose Even Further With a Lot of Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow and S&P 500 both rose for a fourth straight session, rising 56 points and 0.6%, respectively. Each benchmark also notched weekly gains, with the Dow climbing 1.7% and the S&P 500 advancing 1.8%. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite rallied 1% on Friday, capping a weekly jump of 2.4%. The Russell 2000 index of small cap stocks narrowly bucked the uptrend, but still rose more than 5% for the week. The volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session volume total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly positive as advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 140 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 160 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals easily outnumbered 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a 4th consecutive gain for a new record high.
All three U.S. major averages closed at fresh all-time highs as prospects for an increase in fiscal aid overshadowed a disappointing update on the U.S. labor market. Reports that President-elect Joe Biden called on a Democratic-led Congress to provide additional coronavirus relief buoyed sentiment. He highlighted the monthly jobs report, which showed U.S. nonfarm payrolls fell 140,000 in December. The figure was the first contraction since April, and came in well below expectations for a scant 50,000 gain and the prior month's upwardly revised 336,000 increase. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate held steady at 6.7%. Treasuries extended their decline. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note climbed three basis points to 1.11%, 20 basis points above where in ended 2020.
rose Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory. Consumer Discretionary stocks paced the gains, with Tesla (TSLA +7.84%) rallying to cap an 11th straight daily advance. Financials was a notable laggard, as banks snapped a three day rally. In other corporate news, Micron Technology (MU -2.14%) had a "negative reversal" after topping Wall Street earnings projections. F5 Networks (FFIV +6.19%) rose after announcing it will buy software startup Volterra for $440 million. |

Gain Today and Rebound Above 50-Day Moving Average Line
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
ServiceNow Inc (NOW +$18.23 or +3.56% to $529.64) volume was near average behind today's big gain as it rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($524) helping its outlook improve. Recently it reported Sep '20 quarterly earnings +22% on +30% sales revenues versus the year ago period, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based investment system, raising fundamental concerns.
A slump in the group has raised some concerns regarding the L criteria. The Computer Software - Enterprise group currently has a Group Relative Strength Rating of D+ (24), down from B- (52) when last shown in this FSU section on 12/17/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Hit New Record High With Light Volume Behind Gain".
It reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings +73% on +28% sales revenues versus the year ago period and prior results had been routinely above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). It has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 98. NOW has a new CEO as of 1/01/20.
NOW traded up as much as +65.2% since first highlighted in yellow in the 4/30/20 mid-day report with a pivot point based on its 2/19/20 high plus 10 cents (read here). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,030 in Jun '17 to 2.470 in Sep '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a Timeliness Rating of B and a Sponsorship Rating of A. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days. |

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.
