Leadership Improves as Major Indices Continue With Strong Rally
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow rallied 257 points to 31,188, while the S&P 500 gained 1.4%. The Tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite jumped 2% as growth-oriented stocks outperformed. Meanwhile, the Russell 2000 index of small cap stocks rose 0.4%.The volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was clearly positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and 5-4 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 109 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 86 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and easily outnumbered the 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 Nasdaq Composite Index hit a new record high.

All three U.S. major averages closed at fresh record highs on Wednesday, as investors assessed the latest batch of corporate earnings reports. Also in focus was the presidential inauguration of Joe Biden, as market participants weighed the implications of the incoming administration’s policies.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory, with Financials the lone laggard. The Communication Services group paced the gains, with shares of Netflix surging 17.5% after the streaming giant easily beat analysts' revenue estimates amid better-than-expected subscriber growth in the most recent quarter. Other companies with streaming services also pushed higher, with Disney (DIS +0.80%) and Amazon (AMZN +4.57%) both rising. In other earnings, Morgan Stanley (MS -0.20%) was little changed after reporting a robust fourth quarter profit tally, which capped a record year for the U.S. bank. UnitedHealth Group (UNH -0.38%) fell despite beating analysts’ projections on both the top and bottom line.

On the data front, MBA mortgage applications dipped 1.9% in the week ending January 15. The NAHB gauge of homebuilder sentiment extended its decline from November’s record high, dipping to 83 in January from the prior month’s 86 reading. Treasuries modestly advanced, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note down one basis point to 1.08%. In commodities, WTI crude added 0.5% to $53.24/barrel. Gold advanced 1.6% to $1868.70/ounce amid a weaker dollar.

Encountered Distributional Pressure After Big Rally
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Alarm.com Holdings Inc (ALRM -$1.14 or -1.16% to $96.80) suffered a loss today after trying to rebound toward its all-time high. It is very extended from any sound base and it has encountered distributional pressure after a big rally. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($86.05) defines initial support to watch on pullbacks.

Recently ALRM reported earnings +32% on +24% sales revenues for the Sep '20 quarter versus the year ago period, an improvement after +3% earnings in the Jun quarter. Prior quarterly comparisons were near or above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong, a good match with the fact-based investment system.

ALRM has traded up as much as +51.2% since it was highlighted in yellow in the 11/06/20 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 12/24/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Perched at High After Impressive Streak of Gains". . he number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 262 in Mar '18 to 401 in Dec '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has earned a Timeliness Rating of B and a Sponsorship Rating of D.
