Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow fell 25 points while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each inched 0.2% higher. For the week the S&P 500 advanced 1.6%, while the Nasdaq jumped 2.2% and the Dow rose 1%. Advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the NYSE but delciners led advancers by 8-7 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and slightly lower on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 92 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 99 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals again solidly outnumbered 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.

Stocks U.S. equities were mixed on Friday as investors assessed a series of economic, earnings, and geopolitical updates. In geopolitical news, tensions between the United States and China flared up as the U.S. Justice Department announced racketeering and conspiracy charges for Chinese telecom giant Huawei. On the data front, retail sales climbed 0.3% month-over-month in January, in-line with projections. However, the prior month’s advance was downwardly revised and sales at clothing stores fell to the lowest level since 2009. A separate update showed U.S. factory output fell 0.3% in January, marking the second-straight monthly drop. A more optimistic report from the University of Michigan showed that U.S. consumer sentiment rose to 100.9 for February, the highest reading in nearly two years. Treasuries strengthened following the data updates with the yield on the 10-year note falling one basis points to 1.59%.

Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory with the Real Estate and Utilities groups pacing the gains. In earnings, NVIDIA (NVDA +7%) hit a new all-time high after the semiconductor company topped analyst profit estimates while Expedia (EXPE +11.04%) rose after posting optimistic 2020 guidance. Yelp (YELP -3.48%) after the online review company missed consensus earnings and revenue projections. In commodities, WTI crude added another 1.3% to $52.07/barrel to snap a five-week losing streak.

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Bank Index ($BKX -0.30%), Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.09%) and Retail Index ($RLX -0.06%) sputtered on Friday. The Biotech Index ($BTK +0.44%) posted a modest gain while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.19%) inched lower and the Networking Index ($NWX -1.28%) fell. Energy-linked groups had a negative bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.47%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.72%) both fell. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.09%) also lost ground.

Rebounding After Damaging Losses Triggered Sell Signals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Audiocodes Ltd (AUDC -$0.43 or -1.75% to $24.15) met resistance today after rebounding near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($24.94). That short-term average may act as resistance after damaging volume-driven losses triggered technical sell signals. Fundamentals remain strong after it reported earnings +30% on +15% sales revenues for the Dec '19 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record for a 12th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth has been strong and it has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating.

This Israel-based designer of advanced voice-over-IP products suffered more damaging losses after it was last shown in this FSU section on 1/27/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Showed Resilience With Close in Upper Third of Intra-day Range". Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 33 in Mar '18 to 83 in Dec '19, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a Timeliness Rating of C and Sponsorship Rating of B. The small supply of 22.8 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
