Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 95 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 111 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average recently rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA), rallying toward its record high.

The major averages' (M criteria) are in a confirmed uptrend, and there has been a reassuring expansion in leadership (number of high-ranked stocks hitting new highs). New buying efforts should be made only in stocks matching all of the fundamental and technical criteria of the fact-based investment system. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.

The major averages fluctuated on the session Wednesday after President Donald Trump released his much-anticipated outline for tax reform. The proposal reduces the corporate tax rate to 15% from 35% while adding a “one-time tax” on the trillions of dollars held by corporations overseas. Retail stocks climbed on the announcement, as it revealed President Trump's plan did not include a border adjustment tax.

Seven of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 ended in negative territory. Technology stocks finished mixed with Twitter (TWTR +7.91%) rose after the company added more daily active users than analysts had expected in the quarter. Seagate Technology (STX -16.83%) fell as quarterly sales miss expectations. In the consumer space, Procter & Gamble (PG -2.51%) edged lower as a stronger dollar and political uncertainty tempered results. Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG +2.38%) rose after widely beating profit expectations. Telecom stocks outperformed with AT&T (T +1.25%) edging higher. Health Care shares advanced with Edwards Lifesciences (EW +10.49%) rallying.

Treasuries finished higher as investors appeared cautious regarding the prospects of President Trump’s tax outline. The benchmark 10-year note advanced 8/32 to yield 2.30%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude lost 0.6% to $49.28/barrel. In FOREX, the Dollar Index gained 0.2%.

Challenging 52-Week High With Volume-Driven Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

National Commerce Corp (NCOM +$0.25 or +0.63% to $39.65) hit a new 52-week high with today's 3rd consecutive gain, trying to rally from a 12-week flat base pattern. It finished strong after highlighted in yellow in the 4/25/17 mid-day report with new pivot point cited based on its 1/27/17 high plus 10 cents (read here). A gain above the pivot point backed by a minimum of +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal.

It reported Mar '17 earnings +32% on +42% sales revenues extending its streak to 9 consecutive quarterly comparisons with earnings increasing above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). It annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong. It is up from its $20 IPO on 3/19/15.

It has a Timeliness rating of A and a Sponsorship rating of A. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 94 in Jun '16 to 117 in Mar '17, 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. Its small supply of only 10.4 million shares (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
