Leadership Improved and Breadth Was Positive
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both closed at fresh record highs, adding 0.2% and 0.1%, respectively. The Dow dipped less than one point, erasing an early session gain. Advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and 5-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 114 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 57 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals again expanded and easily outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices' (M criteria) remain in a confirmed uptrend. Disciplined investors buy individual stocks on a case-by-case basis only if all key criteria are met. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average remains perched at an all-time high.

Stocks finished mostly higher on Tuesday. Investor sentiment was supported amid reports the coronavirus outbreak could be contained by April, avoiding a potential economic fallout.

Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with Energy shares pacing gains amid a rebound in oil prices. WTI crude rose 0.8% to $49.94/barrel. The Communication Services group lagged, with Facebook (FB -2.76%) down following an analyst downgrade. The social media company was also pressured on news of an FTC investigation concerning past acquisitions of major U.S. Technology companies including Microsoft (MSFT -2.26%). In earnings, Under Armour (UA -16.69%) fell after providing disappointing forward guidance. In M&A news, T-Mobile (TMUS +11.78%) and Sprint (S +77.50%) rose after a federal judge approved a merger between the two wireless providers. Cell tower operators advanced on hopes the announcement would increase demand.

Market participants also tuned into the first day of Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Congressional testimony. Powell noted that the central bank is monitoring the coronavirus outbreak and reiterated the U.S. economy remains in a good position. Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the 10-year note up four basis points to 1.60%.

On the data front, the NFIB revealed small business optimism improved more than anticipated in January. Separately, the Jobs Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) showed job openings unexpectedly declined to a two-year low in December.

Pulled Back Near 50-Day Average Following Strong Earnings Report
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Paycom Software Inc (PAYC -$3.23 or -1.08% to $294.76) halted its slide after a "negative reversal" at its all-time high followed by a gap down. Fundamentals remain strong after its latest earnings report. Earnings rose +41% on +29% for the Dec '19 quarter versus the year ago period. It is very extended from any sound base. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($284.69) and prior high ($279.95 on 11/27/19) define important near-term support levels to watch on pullbacks.

PAYC finished strong after highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 8/29/19 high plus 10 cents in the 11/20/19 mid-day report (read here). The gain for a new high was backed by +167% above average volume and triggered a new technical buy signal. It was last shown in this FSU section on 1/23/20 under the headline, "Gapped Up for New High But Ended Near Session Low".

It has the highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99, well above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. The 4 latest quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and steady.

The Computer Software - Enterprise firm's current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under some distributional pressure over the past 50 days. Its small supply of only 58.4 million shares outstanding (S criteria) 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 384 in Jun '17 to 931 in Dec '19, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a Timeliness rating of A and Sponsorship rating of B. It completed Secondary Offerings on 11/13/15, 9/16/15, 5/15/15 and 1/14/15 since its $15 IPO on 4/15/14.
