The first round of key earnings results highlighted the docket today with Wall Street’s biggest banks reporting.

Forming New Base for Past 7 Weeks

Titan Machinery Inc (TITN +$0.70 or +1.66% to $42.90) posted another gain with light volume. It found support when recently consolidating near the prior high in the $38 area which defines important support to watch along with its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($38.17). Its color code has been changed to yellow with a new pivot point cited based on its 12/01/22 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new technical buy signal. A valid secondary buy point also may be considered up to 5% above the recent high since it found support at the 10-week moving average line.

Fundamentals remain strong after reporting Oct '22 quarterly earnings +91% on +47% sales revenues. It currently has the highest possible earnings Per Share Rating of 99. Following years of losses it has shown strong earnings growth for FY '19-22. TITN was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/23/21 high plus 10 cents in the 11/30/22 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in greater detail on 12/30/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Found Support Near Prior High Following Breakout".

The small supply of only 22.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 241 in Dec '20 to 355 in Dec '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days.
