Breadth Negative as Major Indices Slump Again
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished lower on Thursday. The Dow was down 72 points to 19732. The S&P 500 lost 8 points to 2263 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 15 points to 5540. Volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 19 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 15 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered a 5th consecutive loss and undercut a prior low. The Blue Chip index has been consolidating in a tight range after meeting resistance at the 20,000 level.
Near record high territory, the major averages (M criteria) are in a confirmed uptrend which has endured distributional pressure. New buying efforts should only be made in candidates with superior fundamental and technical characteristics. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.
The major averages declined on the session as investors digested quarterly earnings and the European Central Bank’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged. In prepared remarks, ECB President Mario Draghi stated there are no convincing signs yet of an upward trend in underlying inflation. On the domestic front, housing starts rebounded 11.3% in December, after a sharp 16.5% decline the previous month. In a separate release, initial jobless claims came in at 234,000, the lowest level in more than 43 years.
Nine of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 ended in negative territory. Financials finished lower with BB&T Corp (BBT -1.97%) ending lower. Bank of New York Mellon (BK -3.01%) fell despite beating analyst estimates on the top and bottom line. In earnings, Rent-A-Center (RCII -18.45%) sank after comparable store sales fell 14% in the quarter. Netflix (NFLX +3.86%) managed a "breakaway gap" for new highs but ended near the session low as the company reported better-than-expected subscription additions. Industrials shares outperformed in the session with CSX Corp (CSX +23.40%) hitting a new all-time high after reporting +21% earnings on +9% sales revenues for the Dec '16 quarter. That marked its first quarterly sales revenues increase in more than 2 years and its biggest earnings increase.
Treasuries finished lower with the benchmark 10-year note down 10/32 to yield 2.46%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude added 0.7% to $51.41/barrel. COMEX gold lost 0.6% to $1204.80/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index advanced 0.2%. |

Violated 50-Day Moving Average Line and Now Testing Prior Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
I E S Holdings Inc (IESC $18.50) has recently posted small gains with light volume, remaining below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Prior highs in the $18 area define important support. More damaging losses would trigger a worrisome technical sell signal. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line ($19.22) would help its outlook improve. It was last shown in this FSU section on 12/21/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating After Strong Sep '16 Quarterly Earnings News".
The high-ranked Building - Maintenance & Service firm reported very strong Sep '16 quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases. It was highlighted in yellow in the 11/23/16 mid-day report as it returned to the Featured Stocks list while noted - "Fundamentals remain strong. Recent volume-driven gains helped it rally to new highs and above the new pivot point cited based on its 9/06/16 high plus 10 cents."
IESC showed bullish action after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/27/16. Following damaging volume-driven losses it found support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. Members were previously reminded - "Under the fact-based system a stock which was previously sold can be bought back again if strength returns." The usual sell rules apply if a stock is repurchased, and in the Certification the teach investors to make a 10% larger purchase than on the prior entry.
Its strong earnings track record includes 5 consecutive quarterly earnings increase above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). In addition to that fact its sales revenues growth rate showed encouraging acceleration, helping it better match the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong for the past 3 years.
Today it has a Timeliness rating of B, and its Sponsorship rating is currently a C. The number of top rated funds owning its shares rose from 52 in Dec '15 to 144 in Dec '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of only 7.5 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling
