Leadership Thinned and Major Indices Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 Index ended with a -0.3% loss, the Nasdaq Composite was down -0.2%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average cloed -0.7% lower, and the Russell 2000 suffered a -1.3% loss. Volume was reported higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 40 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 79 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and outnumbered new highs 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.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average pulled back from Friday's new all-time high.
NVIDIA (NVDA +4.79%) rose after its price target was raised by an analyst at Goldman Sachs. Apple (AAPL +0.98%) and Alphabet (GOOG +0.97%) both posted gains. ON Semiconductor (ON +9.54%) posted a standout gain following positive earnings and guidance. As a consequence, the heavily-weighted S&P 500 information technology sector posted a +0.6% gain. Meanwhile, nine of the sectors fell. Air Products (APD -15.55%) fell following disappointing earnings, making the materials sector (-2.5%) the worst performer.
The January ISM Services PMI featured an acceleration in services sector activity in January, with a pickup in new orders, employment, and prices. The 10-yr note yield settled at 4.16%, 13 basis points higher than Friday. The 2-yr note yield settled at 4.46%.

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.64) and the Bank Index ($BKX -1.27%) both lost ground and weighed on the major averages. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.81%) posted a smaller loss. The tech sector was mixed as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.18%) rose while the Biotech Index ($BTK -0.15%) was little changed but the Networking Index ($NWX -1.53%) fell. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.26%) outpaced the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.04%) to the downside while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.19%) eked out a tiny gain.
![]() PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.26%) sputtered to a new 2024 low. In recent weeks it has been living below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.

Peched at All-Time High With Earnings News Due
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
e.l.f. Beauty (ELF -$0.02 or -0.01% to $169.74) finished flat after churning above average volume and hitting another new all-time high. It is extended from any sound base and rallied +22.8% since featured in the 1/02/24 mid-day report (read here) and in that evening's report under the headline, "Pulled Back After Closing 3 Weeks Tight". Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($143.63) defines important near-term support to watch. Keep in mind it is due to report Dec '23 quarterly results after the close on Tuesday, 2/06/24. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.
ELF currently has a 98 Earnings Per Share rating. It reported Sep '23 quarterly earnings +128% on +76% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, adding to its streak of very strong quarterly results well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history over the past 3 years has been strong, making it a better match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 510 in Mar '23 to 752 in Dec '23, a very 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. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 55.2 million shares outstanding can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
