Major Indices Were Indecisive While Leadership Improved

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite closed little changed while the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Russell 2000 declined 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively. Volume was reported lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 5-4 margin on the NYSE but decliners slightly outnumbered advancers on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 61 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 51 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). New buying efforts should be only made in stocks fitting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is consoidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line near its prior high.

Dow component UnitedHealth (UNH -3.37%), was a losing standout while Delta Air Lines (DAL -8.97%), Bank of America (BAC -1.06%), and Wells Fargo (WFC -3.34%) also fell. JP Morgan Chase (JPM -0.73%) and Citigroup (C +1.04%) were mixed after they reported earnings. 

There was a cooler-than-expected Producer Price Index (PPI) report for December. The 2-yr note yield declined 12 basis points to 4.15%. The 10-yr note yield fell three basis points to 3.95%.

Geopolitical angst was also part of the narrative. The United States and the UK conducted strikes against military targets in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.

Secondary Buy Point Noted After Finding Support

Coca Cola Femsa Sab Ads (KOF +$3.09 or +3.44% to $92.87) was highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here) because a valid secondary buy point exists up to +5% above the recent high since finding support at its 10-week moving average (WMA) line after an earlier breakout. It posted a big volume-driven gain today, finding prompt support near prior highs in the $90 area and above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Its Relative Strength Rating is currently 81, just above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/21/23 and slumped well below its 200 DMA line then rebounded and rallied to a new high.

KOF has a 95 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported Sep '23 quarterly earnings +42% on +27% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, and 3 of the 4 latest quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). KOF was last shown in great detail on 9/14/23 with an annotated graph under the headline "Lingering Below 50 DMA Line and Relative Strength Rating Slumped". Annal earnings had a downturn in FY '20 like many companies during the pandemic.

It hails from the Beverages - Non-Alcoholic group which is currently ranked 12th on the 197 Industry Groups list. There are 857.1 million shares in the public float (S criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 120 in Mar '22 to 161 in Sep '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

Reported Oct '23 quarterly earnings +105% on +35% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, extending its streak of strong earnings increases well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in quarterly comparisons. Faces no resistance due to overhead supply. Annual earnings history has been strong. Completed its $34 IPO on 6/12/19.

Pivot point cited recently was based on its 12/20/23 high plus 10 cents after forming an advanced "3 weeks tight" base. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs are needed to trigger a technical buy signal. Reported Sep '23 quarterly earnings +128% on +76% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, adding to its streak of very strong quarterly results well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history over the past 3 years has been strong, making it a better match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.
