Major Indices Slipped Slightly From Record Levels
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow slipped 22 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite edged 0.2% and 0.1% lower, respectively, from their prior record closing levels. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by almost a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 41 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 96 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted but still easily outnumbered the new 52-week lows totals which were in the single digits on both exchanges for a 5th consecutive session. 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 S&P 500 Index is perched near its record high.
U.S. equities ended modestly lower after fluctuating between small gains and losses on Tuesday, as investors braced for an influx of corporate earnings results. Market participants also monitored fiscal stimulus updates, with President Biden signaling a willingness to compromise on details of his proposed $1.9 trillion relief package. On the Covid-19 front, drug maker Pfizer noted it would be able to provide the U.S. with 200 million coronavirus vaccine doses by May, which would be two months sooner than projected.
Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory. Energy shares lagged as WTI crude slipped 0.5% to $52.50/barrel. In earnings, General Electric (GE +2.73%) after reporting better-than-expected cash flow. 3M (MMM +3.29%) rose after topping Wall Street's earnings and revenue projections. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ 2.7%+2.71%) rose after providing upbeat guidance following an earnings beat. In other corporate news, Beyond Meat (BYND +17.70%) rose after announcing it will partner with PepsiCo (PEP ++1.18%) to produce plant based snacks.
On the data front, the Conference Board’s gauge of consumer confidence increased to 89.3 in January from the downwardly revised 87.1 prior reading, rising for the first time in four months but remaining well under February's pre-pandemic level of 132.60. Meanwhile, the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-city housing price index climbed 9.1% year-over-year during November, which was the biggest annual jump since 2014. Treasuries declined, with the yield on the 10-year note adding one basis point to 1.04%. |

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX -1.13%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.36%) created a drag on the major indices while the Retail Index ($RLX +0.25%) eked out a small gain. The Biotech Index ($BTK -2.26%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.54%) led the tech sector's retreat while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.17%) eked out a small gain.

Perched Near All-Time High Stubbornly Holding Ground
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Q2 Holdings Inc (QTWO +$0.70 or +0.50% to $139.32) posted a gain today on average and it is perched at its all-time high. It stubbornly held its ground while making steady progress in recent months. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($121.54) defines important near term support to watch on pullbacks.
QTWO was last shown in the FSU section on 12/31/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Stubbornly Holding Ground Extended From Prior Base". It was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 8/06/20 high plus 10 cents in the 11/12/20 mid-day report (read here).
It has a 96 Earnings Per Share Rating. It showed great earning increases with strong underlying sales revenues growth for the Jun and Sep '20 quarters versus the year ago periods. Annual earnings growth has been strong. Completed new Public Offerings on 6/06/19 and 5/13/20. The company hails from the Computer Sftwr-Financial group. There are only 53.9 million shares outstanding (S criteria).
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 404 in Dec '19 to 476 in Sep '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 neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days.

Y - Today's early gain nearly challenged its 52-week high, but it ended near the session low. Rebound above the 50 DMA line ($90.41) helped its outlook improve, however, its Relative Strength rating of 73 is still below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Keep in mind it is due to report Dec '20 quarterly results on 1/26/21.
