Major Indices Fell and Leadership Contracted
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices each clearly ended lower on Tuesday. Volume reported was mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 5-4 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 66 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down versus the total of 146 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals 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 Nasdaq Composite Index pulled back with higher volume.
The S&P 500 information technology sector declined -2.2% on Tuesday, leaving it up +10.1% in 2024. Microsoft (MSFT -2.96%), Meta Platforms (META -1.60%), and Amazon.com (AMZN -1.95%) all lost ground.Meanwhile, NVIDIA (NVDA +0.85%) edged higher, bringing its yearly gain to a whopping +73.6%. Aside from the information technology sector, the consumer discretionary (-1.3%) and real estate (-1.2%) sectors saw the largest declines.
The consumer staples sector outperformed thanks in part to a big earnings-related gain in Target (TGT +12.02%). The energy (+0.7%) and financials (+0.1%) sectors were also able to close with gains.
Treasuries settled with gains. The 2-yr note yield fell six basis points to 4.55% and the 10-yr note yield declined eight basis points to 4.14%.

Big Gap Up Gain Triggered Technical Buy Signal
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Paymentus Holdings (PAY +$3.30 or +20.18% to $19.65) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/26/23 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report. It gapped up hitting a new 52-week high with today's considerable volume-driven gain triggering a technical buy signal. It rebounded near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line on the prior session.
PAY has a 96 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +175% on +25% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 3rd strong quarterly comparison well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong since its $21 IPO in May '21.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 79 in Mar '23 to 107 in Dec '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of only 16.7 million shares in the public float (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Bullish action came after it reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +60% on +29% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Prior highs in the $260-262 area define initial support to watch along with its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($262.58).

Y - Posted a solid gain today with below-average volume for a best-ever close near its all-time high. 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.
