Leadership Expanded as Major Indices Were Mixed and Indecisive
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow added 64 points, closing at a fresh record level. The S&P 500 dipped less than 0.1%, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.3%, with both benchmarks drifting from all-time highs notched in early trading. The volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the Nasdaq exchange while decliners narrowly led advancers on the NYSE. There were 139 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 93 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals easily outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both exchanges. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria) with healthy leadership provided by many stocks hitting new highs. 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 Index is quietly perched near its record high.

U.S. stocks finished mixed on Tuesday as Wall Street weighed optimism surrounding the economic recovery against a jump in bond yields. U.S. Treasuries extended their sell-off, reigniting concerns over a rapid rise in inflation. The yield on the 10-year note climbed 10 basis points to 1.30%, its highest level in a year. The MSCI All-Country World Index ended an 11-session winning streak.

Meanwhile, investors remained focused on fiscal stimulus negotiations in Washington, with House Democrats preparing to unveil a finalized version of the Biden Administration’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package this week. Also helping buoy sentiment are continued efforts to distribute COVID-19 vaccines, a decline in infection rates, and persistent support from the Federal Reserve.

Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with the Utilities, Real Estate, and Health Care groups losing more than 1%. Energy shares outperformed amid an uptick in oil prices. WTI crude rose 1.2% to $60.20/barrel, near its strongest level in a year as a nation-wide cold snap and corresponding power outages are supporting prices.

In earnings, CVS Health (CVS -4.96%) slid despite posting upbeat quarterly figures, helped by COVID-19 testing and vaccinations. Elsewhere, Palantir Technologies (PLTR -12.75%) violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with a big volume-driven loss after the analytics company reported a quarterly loss despite an increase in new contracts.

Wedged to New Highs With Earnings Report Due Soon
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Trex Company Inc (TREX) touched another new all-time high with today but reversed into the red. Recent gains were backed by below average volume, action termed "wedging". Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($89.56) and the recent low ($89.04 on 1/29/21) coincide defining important near-term support to watch on pullbacks.

TREX currently has a 94 Earnings Per Share Rating. It is due to report Dec '20 quarterly results on 2/22/21. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Its Sep '20 quarterly earnings rose +14% on +19% sales revenues versus the year ago period, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns. That broke a streak of 4 consecutive quarterly comparisons above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong.

TREX last appeared in this FSU section on 1/19/21 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Hit New All-Time High With Gain Backed by Average Volume". The company hails from the General Building Materials industry group which currently has a Group Relative Strength Rating of (54) C+.

The company has a new CEO as of 4/29/20. After a 2:1 share split effective 9/15/20 it now has a supply (S criteria) of 115.8 million shares outstanding. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 540 in Jun '19 to 733 in Dec '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.0 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness rating of B and a Sponsorship Rating of B.
