Major Indices Posted Solid Gains With Less Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices posted unanimous gains but the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index lagged. Volume was reported higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 53 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 90 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still outnumbered new lows on the NYSE, meanwhile new highs and new lows were evenly matched 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average managed a best-ever close as it ended the session above the psychologically important 38,000 level.
There was an overall positive bias after the Advance Q4 GDP report showed that real GDP rose 3.3% versus an expected 2.0% and the GDP Price Deflator increased 1.5% versus an expected 2.8%. Friday's report on December Personal Income and Spending will reveal the Fed's preferred gauge on inflation (i.e. the PCE Price Indexes).
Gains were shown by nine of the S&P 500 sectors and the energy sector (+2.2%) saw the largest gain, climbing alongside oil prices ($77.36/bbl, +2.29, +3.1%). Meanwhile, the big loss in Tesla sent the S&P 500 consumer discretionary sector down -1.1%. Tesla (TSLA -12.13%) gapped down below its October 2023 low following disappointing earnings and guidance. The health care sector (-0.2%) was driven lower by shares of Humana (HUM -11.69%) after reporting disappointing quarterly results.
Knight-Swift Transportation (KNX +1.61%) managed a "positive reversal" to end the day higher. A sizable earnings-related gain in IBM (IBM +9.49%) was a big reason behind the outperformance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Concerning US Treasuries, the 2-yr note yield rose five basis points to 4.32% and the 10-yr note yield climbed five basis points to 4.13%.

Quietly Sinking Toward 200-Day Moving Average Line
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Amphastar Pharm (AMPH -$1.98 or -3.59% to $53.24) fell further below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line toward its 200 DMA line. After damaging volume-driven losses, a rebound above the 50 DMA line ($57.76) is needed for its outlook to improve. Fundamentals remain strong.
AMPH was highlighted in yellow in the 12/04/23 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 11/21/23 high after a cup-with-handle base. It was last covered in great detailon 12/21/23 with an annotated graph under the headline "Consolidating Above Pivot Point With Volume Cooling".
AMPH has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. The 4 latest quarterly comparisons through Sep '23 have been well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong. It hails from the Medical-Biomed/Biotech group which is currently ranked 3rd on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria).
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares reportedly rose from 435 in Mar '23 to 470 in Sep '23, 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.
