Breadth Positive but Major Indices Ended Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose +0.3%, marking another record closing high. The Russell 2000 jumped +1.8%, continuing its recent outperformance and helping it to positive territory (+0.9%) for 2024. Volume was reported near the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by almost a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 128 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, matching the total of 128 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows totals 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 3-year graph of the S&P 600 Small Cap Index shows it -11.2% off its November 2021 all-time high and even down from its Dec '23 high.
The S&P 500 (-0.1%) and Nasdaq Composite (-0.3%) lost ground after early gains +0.4% and +0.6%, respectively. Amazon.com (AMZN -1.21%) and Microsoft (MSFT -1.26%) were among the influential losers from the mega cap space which created a drag. Semiconductor stocks suffered after losing early strength and the PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOX) erased a +1.7% gain at its high to close -0.2% lower.
The heavily-weighted information technology sector saw the largest decline. The rate-sensitive S&P 500 utilities sector saw the largest gain among the 11 sectors. The energy sector was another top performer, gaining +1.1%, due to a huge gain in Diamondback Energy (FANG +9.38%) following news that it plans to merge with Endeavor Energy Resources in a $26 billion cash-and-stock deal that is inclusive of Endeavor's debt.
The 2-yr note yield declined three basis points to 4.47% and the 10-yr note yield fell two basis points to 4.17%.

Reversal at All-Time High After 7 Consecutive Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Axon Enterprise Inc (AXON -$4.27 or -1.58% to $266.71) had a "negative reversal" after reaching a new all-time high today following 7 consecutive gains. Prior highs in the $260-262 area define initial suport above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($251.23).
AXON was highlighted in yellow in the 11/08/23 mid-day report (read here) with new pivot point cited based on its 10/17/23 high after a cup-with-handle base. It hit a new all-time high and finished near the session high triggering a technical buy signal. It was shown in detail in this FSU section on 1/09/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating Well Above Near-Term Support".
AXON reported Sep '23 quarterly earnings +70% on +33% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 4th strong quarter well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings had a slight downturn in FY '22 after years of strong growth.
The company has a small supply of only 74.9 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 978 in Mar '23 to 1,419 in Dec '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. AXON has a Timeliness Rating of A and an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B. Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

Finished strong and managed a best-ever close after highlighted in yellow in the 2/09/24 mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 1/24/24 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains and a close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a conviciing new technical buy signal.

Thinly traded firm has only 5.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
