Leadership Improved Yet Major Indices Ended Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed with a 0.4% gain while the S&P 500 (-0.1%) and Nasdaq Composite (-0.8%) closed with losses. Volume was reported lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the NYSE and by more than a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 107 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 83 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new lows on the NYSE and 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.

Volume Heavy Behind Breakout Gain for Hubbell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Hubbell (HUBB +$11.75 or +3.53% to $344.31) hit a new high with today's big gain backed by +139% above average volume triggering a technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong after Dec '23 earnings rose +42% on +10% sales revenues versus the year-ago period.

HUBB was highlighted yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 1/22/24 high as it rose from a cup-with-handle base. It was last shown in great detail in this FSU section on 8/24/23 with an annotated graph under the headline "Rebounded Near 50-Day Moving Average Line".

Quarterly earnings increases have been above the +25% minimum (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) had a downturn in FY '20 like many companies during the pandemic. It has a 93 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates.

The high-ranked Electrical-Power/Equipmt firm has 53.6 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which 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 805 in Jun '22 to 1,679 in Dec '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication it has been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days. It has an B Timeliness Rating and a B Sponsorship Rating.
