Breadth Positive With More Leadership as Major Indices Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow jumped 475 points, while the S&P 500 advanced 1.4%. The Nasdaq Composite gained 1.6%. The volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 49 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 31 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 clearly saw their uptrend come under pressure (M criteria) last week while leadership thinned. 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 found support well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. More damaging volume-driven losses would raise concerns.
U.S. stocks rallied on Tuesday, posting back-to-back daily gains as investors assessed earnings results and awaited profit tallies from two of the S&P 500's largest companies (Amazon and Alphabet) after the closing bell.
Meanwhile, silver shed nearly 10% after climbing to an eight-year high on the best session in more than a decade on Monday. The sell-off in the precious metal tracked a retreat by a number of the small cap stocks recently favored by retail traders. Elsewhere in commodities, WTI crude jumped 2.3% to $54.78/barrel, rising to the highest level in over a year on signs of tightening global supplies. Treasuries declined amid the perceived “risk on” mood, with the yield on the 10-year note adding three basis points to 1.10%. Gold slipped 1.5% to $1833.10/ounce.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory, with seven groups climbing more than 1%. Financials paced the gains amid a jump in Treasury yields. Industrials also outperformed with UPS (UPS +2.56%) after besting analyst profit and sales projections for the holiday quarter. In other earnings, Exxon Mobil (XOM +1.58%) rose after the oil giant tripled consensus earnings expectations but missed revenue estimates. Elsewhere, Alibaba (BABA -3.85%) fell despite beating Wall Street expectations on the top and bottom line amid growth in online users and profitability for the first time in its cloud computing division. In M&A news, shares of Hormel Foods (HRL +3.90%) rose on news that it may acquire Kraft Heinz’s (KHC -0.27%) Planters peanut brand. |

Extended From Prior Base Following Streak fo Volume-Driven Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Axon Enterprise Inc (AXON +$0.38 or +0.23% to $166.53) is very extended from any sound base. The prior high ($134) defines important support coinciding with its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which acted as support during the recent consolidation. Fundamentals remain strong. Formerly this company's shares traded under the ticker symbol AAXN where prior notes and detailed analysis may be reviewed. It made considerable progress since last shown in this FSU section on 1/15/21 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Hit New Highs With Streak of Big Volume-Driven Gains".
The company has a small supply of only 63.5 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 400 in Sep '19 to 569 in Dec '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. AXON has a Timeliness Rating of B and an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of A+. The Security/Safety industry group currently has a Group Relative Strength Rating of B+ (73). AXON completed a new Pubic Offering on 6/17/20. Such offerings often hinder price progress temporarily, yet they help companies attract greater institutional ownership interest (I criteria).
It reported Sep '20 quarterly earnings +43% on +27% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Four of the past 5 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods showed earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) with strong underlying sales revenues increases. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has also been strong, helping it get an 84 Earnings Per Share Rating. |

G - Posted a small gain today on very light volume. Fundamentals remain strong after it reported Dec '20 quarterly earnings +63% on +53% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Damaging volume-driven losses recently violated the 50 DMA line ($91.52) hurting its outlook. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. Its current Relative Strength rating of 70 is still below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates.

Its 50 DMA line ($84.15) and prior highs in the $80-81 area define important support to watch on pullbacks. Sep '20 quarterly earnings were +14% on +19% sales revenues versus the year ago period, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) raising fundamental concerns.

G - Hitting new 52-week and all-time highs with today's big volume-driven gain clearing a new 6-week flat base.

Fundamental concerns remain after it reported Dec '20 quarterly earnings +22% on +31% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 2nd consecutive comparison below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based investment system.

Y - New pivot point is cited based on its 12/22/20 high plus 10 cents. Posting a big gain today with volume running at an above average pace. Faces little resistance due to overhead supply up to the $1,285 level. Subsequent gains and a close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Found prompt support near its 50 DMA line ($1,123). Prior low ($1,076 on 1/06/21) defines the next important support to watch.
