Leadership Improved but Indices Were Mixed and Little Changed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow gained 98 points (0.3%), while the Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.4% and the S&P 500 finished flat. Volume totals reported were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by 5-4 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 25 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 13 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows still outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Appropriate new buying efforts may be considered under the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a 4th consecutive gain with below average volume, inching further above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Nine of 11 sectors finished in positive territory as U.S. equities finished mixed Tuesday. On Wednesday the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for March is expected to come in at 5.1% year-over-year, easing from February’s 6% annual gain. Meanwhile, Core CPI (which excludes the more volatile food and energy prices) is forecasted to accelerate, coming in at 5.6% year-over-year versus February’s 5.5% print. Investors are also digesting comments from Federal Reserve (Fed) officials. New York Fed President John Williams signaled the central bank still has more work to do to bring inflation down, while Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee called for further investigation of the potential economic impacts that may come from tighter credit conditions.

On the data front today, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Small Business Optimism Index ticked lower in March as the banking crisis weighed on sentiment. The report showed some small businesses were having difficulty obtaining a loan last month, and many indicated they see tighter credit conditions in the coming months. Treasuries were little changed, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up one basis point (0.01%) to 3.43%, while the 30-year dipped one basis point (0.01%) to 3.62%. The yield on the more monetary policy-sensitive two-year note climbed two basis points (0.02%) to 4.03%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude advanced 2.1% to $81.40/barrel ahead of this week’s inflation data.

Consolidating Near 50 DMA Line After Recent Rally
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Allegro Microsystems Inc (ALGM -$0.84 or -1.82% to $45.36) ended lower today with below-average volume, consolidating just above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($44.31) which defines important near-term support to watch on pullbacks.

ALGM was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/28/21 high plus 10 cents in the 1/31/23 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in greater detail on 3/22/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Extended From Prior Base and Perched Near All-Time High".

The company hails from the Elec-Semiconductor Mfg group which is currently ranked 1st on the 197 Industry Groups list. It has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. Quarterly comparisons through Dec '22 have been above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history has been strong since its $14 IPO in Oct '20. ALGM has a new CEO as of Jun '22.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 341 in Mar '22 to 527 in Mar '23, a reassuringn sign concerning the I criteria. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
