Leadership Improved as Major Indices Bounced
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Nasdaq Composite advanced 2.4% amid a surge in Technology shares. The S&P 500 added 2% and the Dow climbed 524 points (1.6%). Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 7-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 20 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 3 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals contracted but still outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.The major indices are in an uptrend under pressure (M criteria). Appropriate new buying efforts may be considered under the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted its best gain since January, finding support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

All sectors finished in positive territory as equities were higher Thursday. Investors digested strong corporate earnings. This week, investors cheered as first-quarter earnings results from technology firms have come in better than expected.

On the data front today, the advance reading of first-quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) showed the economy grew at a slower-than-forecasted pace, coming in at an annualized 1.1% quarter-over-quarter versus the expected 1.9% growth. The personal consumption component of the report climbed 3.7%, accelerating from the prior quarter’s 1% growth rate. The Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) component, which excludes the more volatile food and energy prices, accelerated in the first quarter, and notched its fastest pace in a year. Meanwhile, pending home sales unexpectedly fell 5.2% month-over-month in March, its biggest drop since September, signaling the housing rout may not yet be over. Finally, the Kansas City Federal Reserve (Fed) Manufacturing Activity Index fell more than expected in April.

Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up eight basis points (0.08%) to 3.52%, while the 30-year bond yield climbed five basis points (0.05%) to 3.75%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, advanced 14 basis points (0.14%) to 4.07%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude climbed 0.7% to $74.80/barrel amid a larger-than-expected drawdown in domestic crude stockpiles.

Fell From High and Raised Concern With Subpar Mar '23 Report
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

NVR Inc (NVR +$120.63 or +2.12% to $5,802.22) was highlighted in yellow in the 4/25/23 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 12/30/21 high plus 10 cents. It pulled back after recently rallying to touch a new all-time high. Confirming gains and a close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may clinch a proper technical buy signal.

Concerns were raised as it reported Mar '23 quarterly earnings -14% on -8% sales revenues, a noted new fundamental flaw. Earnings had risen +50% on +23% sales revenues for the Dec '22 quarter versus the year-ago period, and prior quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been very strong. It still has a 90 Earnings Per Share Rating.

The Building - Residential/Commercial industry group is currently ranked 2nd on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,548 in Dec '22 to 1,576 in Mar '23. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
