PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is perched -2.4% off its December 13, 2022 high.

Six of 11 sectors finished in positive territory as U.S. equities finished mixed Monday. Mixed earnings reports came from some major financial institutions. There are several Big Tech earnings due tomorrow. In earnings news today, First Republic Bank (FRC +12.20%) rose despite the fact it reported deposits declined 40% to $104.5 billion after sharp deposit outflows troubled the already weakening bank. Elsewhere, Credit Suisse Group AG (CS +2.11%) reported one of the biggest-ever quarterly bank profits after nearly collapsing a month ago. The company announced a $13.9 billion in earnings due to the incurred gains from the bailout plus a write down of $17 billion in debt that counted towards the quarter’s revenue results.

On the data front, March’s Chicago Federal Reserve (Fed) National Activity Index remained unchanged at a 0.19 decline. Meanwhile, April’s Dallas Fed Manufacturing Activity plummeted more than expected to negative 23.4 from March’s 15.7 negative reading. Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the 10-year note declining five basis points (0.05%) to 3.51%, while the 30-year bond yield dropped five basis points (0.05%) to 3.72%. The yield on the two-year note declined four basis points (0.04%) to 4.14%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude gained 1.2% to $78.77/barrel amid increased optimism over Chinese demand. Investor sentiment rose after Chinese customs data showed a record volume of oil imports in March following an uptick in travel bookings for Chinese residents after years of lockdown.

Sputtered While Perched in Striking Distance of 52-Week HIgh
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

SPS Commerce (SPSC -$1.24 or -0.82% to $150.88) was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 2/15/23 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. It has been consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($148.72) in an orderly fashion in recent weeks.

SPSC reported Dec '22 quarterly earnings +37% on +19% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Three of the 4 latest quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and it has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 98.

SPSC is -4.2% off its 52-week high and -13.5% off its all-time high. Its current Relative Strength Rating of 90 is above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. It hails from the Computer Software - Spec Enterprise group which is currently ranked 31st on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria).

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 562 in Sep '22 to 598 in Mar '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of B. The small supply of 36.3 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the even of institutional buying or selling. A 2:1 split impacted share price on 8/23/19.
