Small Caps Outperformed as Major Indices Pulled Back
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices ended Monday's session with declines ranging from -0.1% to -0.4%. Meanwhile, the Russell 2000 outperformed, gaining +0.7%. Volume was reported higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a narrown margin on the Nasdaq exchange while decliners led advancers by more than a 4-3 margin on the NYSE. There were 120 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 132 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals solidly outnumbered 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 S&P 500 Index pulled back after 3 straight gains for new all-time highs.
The latest $63 billion 2-yr note auction and the $64 billion 5-yr note sale were both met with underwhelming demand. The 2-yr note yield settled one basis point higher at 4.73% and the 10-yr note yield rose four basis points to 4.30%.
Three of the 11 S&P 500 sectors closed higher. The energy sector (+0.3%) saw the largest gain, benefitting from a jump in oil prices ($77.56/bbl, +1.04, +1.4%) and natural gas futures ($1.74/mmbtu, +0.04, +2.4%). The heavily-weighted consumer discretionary sector (+0.2%) was the next best performer thanks to Domino's Pizza (DPZ +5.85%) after it reported earnings, and also a gain from Tesla (TSLA +3.87%). The information technology sector settled fractionally higher despite declines in Apple (AAPL -0.75%) and Microsoft (MSFT -0.68%). NVIDIA (NVDA +0.35%) and other semiconductor stocks led the sector higher. Meanwhile, the utilities (-2.1%) and communication services (-2.1%) sectors fell more than -.0% each.

Extended From Any Sound Base After 7 Weekly Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Paccar (PCAR +$1.47 or +1.33% to $112.25) hit another new all-time high with today's 4th consecutive gain backed by below-average volume, getting more extended from any sound base. Bullish action has continued after it reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +53% on +11% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 9th quarterly comparison with better than the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). There was a downturn in FY' 20 annual earnings (A criteria) like many companies during the pandemic. PCAR has a 95 Earnings Per Share rating.
PCAR was highlighted in yellow in the 1/23/24 mid-day report (read here). Its gain backed by +153% above average volume for a new 52-week high cleared the pivot point based on its 12/13/23 high plus 10 cents triggering a technical buy signal. It was shown in detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Volume-Driven Breakout for Paccar".
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 2,052 in Mar '23 to 2,169 in Dec '23, a 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. It has a Timeliness rating of A and an Accumulation/Distribution rating of B+. |

Y - Retreating from its all-time high with today's loss on average volume. 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. Through Dec '23 its quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong, a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. 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.

Reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +36% on +26% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 6th quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based investment system.

Most Recent Note - 2/22/2024 5:55:08 PM
Y - Gapped up and hit a new all-time high today but encountered distributional pressure and ended near the session low, closing below the pivot point cited based on its 2/09/24 high after a cup-with-handle base. A strong close above the pivot point is needed to clinch a proper technical buy signal. Found support recently at its 50 DMA line ($536). Reported Jan '24 quarterly earnings +36% on +21% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 3rd strong quarter above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong and steady. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
